Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid’s boss, is in further talks with Brazil about their vacant head coach role after Dorival Junior’s recent dismissal.
The CBF has long desired Ancelotti, especially after their underwhelming World Cup qualification start.
Ancelotti’s Real Madrid contract ends in June 2026, but Champions League defeat and the upcoming Copa Del Rey final against Barcelona are fueling speculation about his immediate future.
A loss could hasten his widely expected move to manage Brazil.
While Ancelotti remains silent, sources indicate his representatives have met with Brazilian intermediaries in Madrid, though the CBF denies their presence.
The Copa Del Rey result could significantly impact Ancelotti’s next career step, potentially leading him to the Brazilian national team regardless of the outcome.
