Although this time Romano added it Ancelotti would leave Real Madrid and take command of the scraper before the 2025 Club World Cup. He also reported that the Federation’s senders are in Spain to close the agreement pending the decision from Merengue.
It is worth remembering that the team from the Spanish capital comes from losing the final in Copa del Rey against Barcelona and that it was eliminated from the UEFA Champions League in a painful way with Liverpool, in the quarter finals. That is why Carletto was left on the ropes and his departure from Casablanca is almost a fact.
Contract details

The intention is for Ancelotti to start its bicycle at the head of Verdeamarela in the South American qualification matches against Ecuador (June 4) and Paraguay (June 9). The squad should be defined in three weeks, which increases the urgency to formalize the announcement.

Controversy over foreign boss
However, the decision to bring a foreigner is not well seen by everyone in Brazil. Former football player Cafú, world champion in 1994 and 2002, spoke against it: “Abel Ferreira is the best coach in Brazil. If Ancelotti arrives and loses with Ecuador, what will happen?”he asked in recent statements. He also suggested national names such as Renato Gaúcho, Rogerio Ceni or Filipe Luis.
If Ancelotti’s arrival is confirmed, he would be the first foreigner to led Canarinha since the Argentine Filpo Núñez, which led a single match in 1965.
It should be noted that Verdeamarela is not at a good moment. The historical defeat against the Argentine national team 4-1 banished Dorival Júnior from the office, so CBF wants to change the football track and install a project for the next Copa América and the 2026 World Cup.
