It was Ancelotti after all.

On the 12th (Korea time), the Brazilian Football Association officially announced the appointment of Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti on its official channel. Ancelotti will join the Brazilian national team on the 26th and prepare for the 2026 World Cup in North and Central America. Ancelotti was named the first foreign coach in 60 years since Argentina's Filippo Núñez in 1965.

Dear Athletic said 'Ancelotti will become Brazil's new coach immediately after the match against Real Sociedad on the 25th. He signed a one-year short-term contract until 2026'




"Brazilian Football Association President Ednaud Rodríguez said, "Bringing Ancelotti as Brazil's coach is a strategic move beyond that. This is a statement to the world that we are determined to return to normalcy. "Ancelotti is the greatest coach in history, and he will now be with the greatest national team on the planet. Together, we will write a new glorious chapter in Brazilian football."

Brazil, which said it is a country where soccer does not go down, seems to be slowing down recently. After failing to win the last Qatar World Cup, which was considered the strongest candidate, he also failed to lift the trophy in Copa America. In the current North Korea-China World Cup qualifying round, it remains in fourth place. It is the worst report card since the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup qualifying round.

In the end, Brazil pulled out its sword. He replaced manager Doribau Junior after a 1-4 defeat against Argentina in March. Brazil's choice was a foreign coach. Brazil has been in contact with European masters since the last Qatar World Cup. With Jose Mourinho, Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp on the list, Brazil's top priority was Ancelotti.




Ancelotti is one of the best masters in the world, having won five European Champions League titles alone. Not a great tactician, but he is famous for being good at motivating and dramatizing the strengths of his players. With this ability, he won all the so-called big leagues such as AC Milan, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Chelsea. Ancelotti is the only coach to win all five European leagues.

Ancelotti was especially strong in the European Champions League. He became the first coach in the history of the European Cup and the European Champions League to win five championships. Coach Ancelotti lifted the big year in the 2002-2003 season and 2006-2007 season at AC Milan, and won the 2013-2014 season, 2021-2022 season, and 2023-2024 season at Real Madrid, writing a remarkable feat of winning five times in his career. It is a record far ahead of Pep Guardiola, Zinedine Zidane and Bob Paisley, who have won three European Champions League titles.

Ancelotti, who has successfully led Real Madrid over the past few years, has been somewhat sluggish this season. He is also in second place in the league and lost the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona. Real Madrid suffered a humiliating defeat in El Clasico this season. Above all, the failure to win the European Champions League, which put a lot of effort into recruiting Kylian Mbappe, was decisive. Real Madrid signaled a break-up with Ancelotti, who continued negotiations with Brazil, which had previously shown interest in him.




They seemed to be looking for an agreement early on. Suu Kyi's media reported that Ancelotti moved to London and reached an agreement with the Brazilian Football Association. Earlier, Ancelotti told some Real Madrid players that `I will leave the team at the end of this season.' Although it was not officially announced, it was reported that he had informal conversations with some players and expressed his intention to part ways.

However, the atmosphere changed ahead of the final signing. On the 30th of last month, Spain's Marca reported that coach Ancelotti finally rejected the Brazilian Football Association's proposal. Brazil's Globo also reported that the Brazilian Football Association has decided to end negotiations with Ancelotti.

First of all, the first cause is the penalty issue with Real Madrid. Ancelotti has a contract with Real Madrid until the summer of 2026. As it was actually a replacement, it demanded a cancellation penalty for the rest of the year. However, Real Madrid said Ancelotti could not give a cancellation penalty as negotiations with the Brazilian Football Association were concluded. President Florentino Perez only offered to release it for free. An angry Ancelotti expressed his intention to remain if so.

The second is Saudi Arabia's proposal. Marca said it was impossible for Ancelotti to join the team in June, which the Brazilian Football Association wanted. They said they could also play in the Club World Cup. There seems to be a large-scale proposal from Saudi Arabia in all of this. Saudi Arabia said it could spend $50 million on Ancelotti's annual salary.

The Brazilian Football Association, which tried to give the baton to a new coach from the A match in June immediately, was on fire. Al Hilal's coach Jorge Jesus, who defeated Gwangju FC 7-0 in second place, was mentioned.

But the mood has changed again. Real Madrid have effectively reached an agreement with Leverkusen coach Xavi Alonso, who has shown interest for a long time. Alonso said goodbye at a press conference ahead of the match against Dortmund on the 10th. "The remaining two games of this season will be my last as a Leverkusen coach," he said. "The time to leave is always important, and I thought this was the time. We have always had good communication with the club, and now we have a clear conclusion."

Then "I want to say a proper goodbye to Dortmund." I'm full of emotions. "I told the players this morning, too. The last three years have been incredibly fantastic, and I want to share those moments with the fans this Sunday. We can take pride in our achievements. We've been leading the team in the right direction." Manager Alonso is expected to lead Real Madrid from the Club World Cup.

Ancelotti was said to be able to play in the Club World Cup with Al Hilal, who replaced Jesus, but eventually held Brazil's hand. Ancelotti will take on a new challenge in Brazil. It is Ancelotti's first attempt at the national team, who was only in charge of the club team. As Brazil has a large number of active Brazilian players, including Vinicius Junior, Hodrigo, Endrick, and Eder Militão, who worked with Ancelotti at Real Madrid, it is expected to adapt quickly. His debut match will be against Ecuador on the 6th.
