In an unexpected turn of events, the Brazilian Soccer Confederation (CBF) ended negotiations with Italian Carlo AncelottiReal Madrid coach, to direct the Canarinha, according to the sports media ‘GE’, of the Globo Group. After having reached a principle of agreement, the CBF finally gave up hiring the technical laureate “After Real Madrid made his release difficult”according to the information signed by André Rizek y Cahê Mota.
The favorite for the post now becomes the Portuguese Jorge Jesuscurrent coach of Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia, which this Tuesday was eliminated in the semifinals of the Champions League of Asia.
Hours before, the same portal had assured that the CBF and Ancelotti had reached an agreement for the Italian to sit at the Brazilian National Team Bank from next June and that they only expected the endorsement of the white team to make it official.
But Real Madrid closed ranks, because ‘Carletto’ has a contract with the white team until 2026 and the parties did not agree on the payment of the termination clause to obtain the liberty letter, according to ‘GE’.
The Spanish press points, however, that Ancelotti received a dizzy offer from Saudi Arabia that has made him go back in his intention to put himself at the forefront of the world’s pentacampeone.
The Brazilian Confederation, consulted by the EFE agency, has not yet manifested about it.
If confirmed, this would be the second time that the Italian coach says ‘no’ to the Scratch. The signing of the Reggiolo coach is the great desire of the president of the CBF, Ednaldo Rodriguessince Tite left the position of coach after the World Cup in Qatar 2022.
Since then, Brazil has failed to have stability in the substitute bank and chains a bad series of results, the last one, a painful win against the Argentine team by 4-1 that cost the position to Dorival Junior.
The ‘Verdeamarela’ is in the fourth position in the table of the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, although its classification is not questioned because it takes six points to Venezuela, seventh placed and first outside the direct classification squares.
