Brazil Official To Travel To Spain In April To Negotiate With Real Madrid Coach

The Brazilian national team setup is leaving no stone unturned in its efforts to lure Carlo Ancelotti. The Real Madrid tactician is their number-one choice by far and the administration is prepared to wait until the end of the season if that’s what it takes to appoint him.

According to reports from MARCA, Brazil Football Confederation (CBF) president Ednaldo Rodrigues will travel to Spain on April 6th to negotiate terms with Ancelotti over the federation’s offer.

The Italian is said to be intrigued by the challenge of taking over the Selecao but has not allowed it to interfere with his situation at Real Madrid at the moment.

Ancelotti’s priority has always been to see out his contract with the European champions. If left to him, the coach would opt to stay in Madrid until 2024 before mutually parting ways to take up the new challenge.

However, his team’s inconsistent displays have brought him on the edge and he could lose his job as early as June if he fails to win a trophy in the coming months. Brazil are alert to this possibility and hope to swoop him away this summer.

Earlier this week, the president of the Brazilian federation publicly declared that Ancelotti was the main candidate considered for the job and spoke of the high regard for the Italian in the dressing room.

“Ancelotti is not only the favourite of players, but also the fans. Wherever I go to any stadium in Brazil, he’s the first name they ask for,” Rodrigues said.

Earlier this week, a new possibility in Ancelotti’s future was revealed when reports stated that he could even renew with Real Madrid if his side wins the UEFA Champions League.

Needless to say, everything will boil down to the Merengues’ performance in the coming weeks, especially in the UCL and Copa del Rey, with the La Liga title already appearing to be lost.
