Carlo Ancelotti hints at huge international job as he confirms Real Madrid will be last club of glittering career
CARLO ANCELOTTI admitted that Real Madrid will be his last job in club management – amid interest from Brazil’s national team.
The 65-year-old is three years into his second spell at Real Madrid and has a contract with the LaLiga champions that runs until 2026.
Questions over Ancelotti’s future with Madrid lingered throughout 2023 before he signed a new deal in December.
This was around the time he was constantly being linked to the Brazil job.
President of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), Ednaldo Rodrigues, said last year that Ancelotti was an obvious choice for the role.
Ancelotti told the Obi One Podcast: “I think it will be my last club, I have to say.
“If there would be an opportunity for a national team, I don’t know.
“I’m not so excited to be in a national team for the fact that I would lose what I like more, the day-by-day.
“The day-by-day I like. To be here, to prepare the training, to talk to the players, to prepare the games.
“This is my 29th season as a coach. It’s true that I have won a lot but imagine the number of titles I lost. I lost a lot.”
