Carlo Ancelotti's prospective appointment as Brazil's national team manager has fallen through despite initial reports of an agreement. Real Madrid, where Ancelotti currently manages, declined to release him before June, which was a stipulation from the Brazilian Football Federation. Consequently, Ancelotti opted out of the position, prioritizing his substantial remaining contract with Madrid. Reports suggest that Brazil may now pursue Jorge Jesus, while Ancelotti weighs a tempting offer from Al Hilal for a significant annual salary, reflecting the ongoing shifts in the football managerial landscape.
Ancelotti's anticipated move to lead Brazil's national team has faltered as Real Madrid would not release him, prompting the coach to decline the offer.
Negotiations collapsed primarily due to Real Madrid's refusal to allow Ancelotti's departure before the Club World Cup while he was reluctant to forfeit his wages.
Ancelotti, under contract with Real Madrid until 2026, was unable to agree on terms that would not involve losing approximately 11 million in unpaid wages.
With Brazil turning to Jorge Jesus as a candidate, Ancelotti is now contemplating a lucrative offer from Al Hilal for 50 million annually.
