Italian Manager Agrees in Principle to Take Over Seleção After La Liga Season
Carlo Ancelotti’s second spell as Real Madrid manager appears to be coming to an end, with the legendary coach now poised to take charge of Brazil’s national team.
Saturday’s Copa del Rey final loss to Barcelona all but confirmed his impending departure from the Spanish giants, and reports now suggest he has reached an agreement to lead Brazil starting in June.
The Brazilian Football Federation has been pushing hard to appoint Ancelotti, and the move now seems inevitable. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the 65-year-old has accepted the role in principle, setting the stage for a new chapter in his storied career.
Ancelotti, who has previously managed stars like Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo, and future Madrid striker Endrick at club level, is reportedly eager to take on the challenge. Brazil has made it clear they want him in place by early June, meaning he will likely miss Real Madrid’s Club World Cup campaign in the U.S. this summer.
If all goes as planned, Ancelotti will guide Brazil through the 2026 World Cup—hosted in North America—before potentially retiring. He had previously hinted that his time at Madrid could be his last job in football, making this a fitting final act in his managerial career.
Despite the looming departure, Ancelotti and Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez are expected to part ways amicably. The Italian’s two stints at the Bernabéu have been highly successful, and there will be no hard feelings when he steps away at season’s end.
For now, Ancelotti remains focused on finishing Madrid’s La Liga campaign strong—but his next adventure, in the iconic yellow of Brazil, is just around the corner.
