Carlo Ancelotti handed fresh Brazil ultimatum after Real Madrid exit stalls
Briefly

Carlo Ancelotti is reportedly in ongoing discussions with Brazil's football federation regarding the coaching position as they plan for the upcoming 2026 World Cup. The Real Madrid manager is expected to exit the club following a disappointing season, which saw early elimination from the Champions League and trailing their rivals Barcelona in La Liga. While Madrid hopes to appoint Xabi Alonso as the next permanent manager, Ancelotti's future remains uncertain due to his current contract and the negotiations with Brazil having faced setbacks.
Ancelotti is expected to depart Madrid this month, having overseen a disappointing season by the club's almost impossible standards, including early Champions League elimination.
The CBF warned Ancelotti they want a decision on his future by 20 May, as Brazil seeks to officially name a new coach.
It is clear there's no done deal with anyone for now, as Ancelotti is still under contract with Madrid and no formal dismissal date has been set.
Madrid ideally want Xabi Alonso to be the next permanent head coach but are preparing for former boss Santiago Solari to cover interim obligations.
