Carlo Ancelotti OFFICIALLY Signs as Brazil Head Coach, Departs Real Madrid This Month
The Real Madrid manager will leave the club at the end of the current La Liga season, with his final game scheduled for May 25 against Real Sociedad.
Ancelotti will begin his new job with Brazil immediately after, and is expected to take charge on the touchline in early June. Deal finalized, coaching staff selected
Romano reports that all documents are in place, and Ancelotti's coaching staff has also been decided. The move marks a significant shift in the Italian's legendary career, as he prepares to take over one of the most prestigious roles in international football.
Real Madrid are reportedly planning a special farewell to honor the 65-year-old coach and his contributions across two successful spells at the club. Ancelotti's Brazil move..years in the making
Talks linking Ancelotti to the Brazilian national team date back to late 2022, following the Selecao's disappointing World Cup exit and the subsequent departure of former manager Tite. Despite Brazil appointing Dorival Junior in the interim, a string of poor results led the CBF to reignite their pursuit of Ancelotti. A respectful goodbye and a new beginning
Although Real Madrid will finish the season without a league title following their 4-3 loss to Barcelona, the club plans to give Ancelotti a farewell that reflects his legacy. Under his leadership, Los Blancos secured trophies including La Liga, the Champions League, Copa del Rey, and Spanish Super Cup.
With Ancelotti's exit now official, Xabi Alonso is set to become Real Madrid's next manager. The former midfielder has reportedly reached a full agreement with the club to take over this summer, beginning a new era at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Vinicius Junior warned Real Madrid contract stand off could ‘backfire'
Ammon News - Real Madrid and Vinicius Junior remain blocked over talks for a new deal that could keep the Brazil international at the club long-term. The main issue focuses on the demands reportedly changing on the player's end with the two parties now no longer in conversations over a possible renewal. With two years remaining on his deal, speculation has ramped up over his future, with the Los Blancos No.7 the subject of constant interest from the Saudi Pro League, with figures of a €300m transfer fee and a €1bn contract being thrown around. In February, Vinicius reportedly met with Saudi officials to hear their offer. Yet it all seemed to have settled down in March as reports emerged of he and Real Madrid agreeing terms on a new contract. Vinicius is keen to stay at Real Madrid, as per Diario AS, with the latest indicating he is not contemplating leaving the Spanish capital and his intention is to sign a new contract. Real Madrid are keen to resolve the issue, as they believe there is no player on the market like him, despite rumours of president Florentino Perez being open to an exit if he can bring in Erling Haaland. Perez will be central to what comes next and former Real Madrid defender Rafa Aklkorta warned Vinicius not to take him on. 'Trying to pressure on Florentino Perez can backfire, as it did with Sergio Ramos,' as per Diario Sport.
