The subject of Ancelotti's future has of course taken its place front and centre in the headlines across world football over the last 24 hours.
This comes after widespread confirmation was forthcoming that the Italian has agreed to depart Real Madrid following the conclusion of the campaign.
Ancelotti's next destination? The Brazilian national team, struggling badly for form and identity alike at present.
The Brazilian FA had long been in pursuit of Real Madrid's headmaster, considered the ideal profile to lead the country's charge into the 2026 World Cup.
And as alluded to above, the Seleção, at one point, were aided in their efforts by none other than Neymar Jr.

As per Radio MARCA:
'One of the players who played a key role in Carletto's arrival to the Brazilian national team was Neymar. He didn't speak to anyone, but someone very close to Neymar ended up being very influential in Ancelotti's arrival in Brazil.'

French artist Thieb Delaporte-Richard sees World Cup poster as a love letter to L.A.
For Thieb Delaporte-Richard, the Parisian cafe within walking distance of his home in Santa Monica was the best spot for an early-morning chat. While standing in line, the aroma of baking croissants wafted, and the buzzing of espresso machines reverberated off the skeletal remains of an old church that now houses the café. 'This kind of feels like home, to be honest, and I think that's the reason I like this place,' Delaporte-Richard said of both the cafe and Santa Monica. Born in Strasbourg, France, Delaporte-Richard spent much of his childhood bouncing around — from eastern France to Paris to French Guiana in South America — never living in one place for more than a few years and never quite sure how to answer when asked which place he truly called home. He eventually returned to Paris to attend Gobelins design school. While there, he had the opportunity to travel to the U.S. for a three-month internship in Santa Monica — his first taste of the beachside city, where he says he 'had this vision of Hollywood, palm trees, the sunset,' and wanted to have the 'California experience.' A decade later, Delaporte-Richard, 30, wouldn't want to be anywhere else. Every day, he's still drawn to the Santa Monica Pier, Pacific Coast Highway, the Santa Monica Mountains and the iconic seaside sunsets. 'Every city, everywhere, you can see the sunset,' he said. 'But here, it's so unique — with no clouds and those colors. For some reason, it feels like I only see those colors here. The way it bounces — it's so red at the bottom, then you see hues of orange, purple and then blue, nothing to hide it. That makes it so unique.' In a year's time, when teams and fans arrive in Los Angeles for the 2026 World Cup — with Los Angeles set to host opening stage matches and quarterfinals at SoFi Stadium — Delaporte-Richard's interpretation of that sunset will blanket Southern California. From walls to billboards to screens, the striking visual will serve as the focal point of the official L.A. poster for the tournament. Delaporte-Richard's pièce de résistance. Like many in L.A. County, Delaporte-Richard is a transplant drawn to the area in pursuit of a dream. For him, that dream is art, and the region city welcomed him. His L.A.-centric poster stands as a love letter to the place he adores. 'My story is L.A.,' Delaporte-Richard said. 'Moving here, I realized how much deeper it is — how L.A. is also all of the stories that people told me. That really changed my vision and made me realize it's much more than what I thought. When I moved here, it was just supposed to be for a short time. And I realized, well, I love this place.' Delaporte-Richard didn't want his poster to be just a checklist of landmarks or symbols — his initial instinct was to include every aspect of the city. But once he scrapped that idea, he focused on subtlety: a careful balance between representation and cliché, aiming to capture an authentic L.A. feel. He settled on the concept of a silhouetted footballer mid-strike — a composite inspired by countless goal-scoring moments, including one by his childhood hero, Ronaldinho — launching a left-footed shot against the setting sun over the downtown skyline. The city's signature palm trees stand tall, while Easter eggs like the sweeping searchlights of a Hollywood premiere reveal themselves on a second glance. The player's outline remains ambiguous enough to let viewers imagine their favorite star in the scene. 'A lot of people reached out to tell me, 'Oh, it truly captures the spirit of L.A.,'' Delaporte-Richard said. 'There is nothing more meaningful to me than people who've lived here their entire lives, for generations, telling me it feels like home. A poster like that is not just a marketing visual. To me, it's a piece of culture. It becomes part of the history.' The chance to showcase his art, however, nearly slipped away. Delaporte-Richard learned about the contest close to the submission deadline. Pressed for time, he put together a storyboard in a few hours in his apartment. During the next few days, he feverishly sketched and digitally painted the piece. By the end of the week, he finished the project and submitted it with just two hours to spare. 'I knew I wouldn't have much time,' Delaporte-Richard said, shuffling through his black notebook filled with original sketches and concept art explaining his goal of capturing the energy and motion soccer brings. 'I searched for an idea that would work and created that connection between soccer and Los Angeles.' When Delaporte-Richard hit send on his submission, he wasn't sure what to expect. At first, all he received was an automated message thanking him and highlighting that more than 900 people had entered the poster contest. Then came the waiting game. In December, he was notified that he was one of 16 finalists whose work was getting evaluated by five Los Angeles County experts in public art and cultural exhibitions. Several months later, Jason Krutzsch of the Los Angeles Sports and Entertainment Commission reached out with a message. 'I received an email that said, 'Congratulations, your poster has been selected,'' Delaporte-Richard said. 'I had to send an email just asking, 'Is it for real? Is it literal? You're not joking?' And he was like, 'I'm dead serious.'' It took a phone call for it to finally hit Delaporte-Richard — he won. It was a big moment he shared with his wife, who moved to California with him from France, and with friends and family back home in Paris. For the first time, the soft-spoken, introverted Delaporte-Richard found himself in the spotlight, with his first major project now available for the world to purchase — unfamiliar territory for him. Initially, the poster's release left him anxious, unsure of how people would react. Would they love it? Would they hate it? The weight felt heavier because of how deeply personal the project was. Delaporte-Richard's decision to enter the contest comes from a lifelong love of soccer that began in his youth in France, where he first learned to kick a ball. To him, Brazilian legends Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, Argentine star Lionel Messi and French hero Zinedine Zidane were magicians devoted to their craft, inspiring Delaporte-Richard to follow his path. When he was 16, his first designs were soccer banners and photoshopped graphics. A chance to celebrate soccer sparked his love of art. Having never been to a World Cup, Delaporte-Richard says it is an honor to now have his work be part of the games. He plans to attend matches at SoFi Stadium, the venue he passed through a months ago when his artwork was first put on display by the L.A. World Cup host committee. 'If you ask the person who's got into design, creating football banners, about doing the World Cup poster, 15 years later, I would not believe it,' Delaporte-Richard said. 'I wouldn't believe it at all. So this experience in L.A. and in the U.S. made it a reality.'

The Athletic FC: Allegation of racism at Club World Cup, NFL owner agrees deal for Palace stake
The Athletic FC ⚽ is The Athletic's daily football (or soccer, if you prefer) newsletter. Sign up to receive it directly to your inbox. Today, we're covering an incident the Club World Cup really didn't need — an allegation of on-field racism. Plus: NFL owner buys into Premier League club, Monterrey's inventive defensive walls, and a team sheet full of trialists. There is still no satisfactory explanation for why FIFA, having put together an anti-discrimination campaign for the Club World Cup, shied away from properly implementing it. One day aside, none of its messaging promoting inclusivity has been on display at matches in the United States. The Athletic tried to get the world governing body to explain itself, because these campaigns are important. FIFA might like to think football is all things to all people but the sport is not clean of bigotry — and this morning, the organisation is facing up to an allegation of racism at its flagship tournament. Advertisement Yesterday's Club World Cup game between Real Madrid and Pachuca in Charlotte was a highly eventful Group H contest. Madrid lost Raul Asencio to a red card for a professional foul after seven minutes but their superiority told in a 3-1 win that should see them into the knockouts. All well and good. But in stoppage time, with the game just about over, an angry exchange between Madrid defender Antonio Rudiger and Pachuca captain Gustavo Cabral hinted at something more than a regulation squabble. Rudiger complained to referee Ramon Abatti, who listened and responded by crossing his arms. The gesture is FIFA's protocol for signalling alleged racist abuse. An investigation into the incident is underway. Cabral spoke to the media afterwards to deny racially abusing Rudiger. Members of Rudiger's camp maintain that he was the victim of racism, and Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso said: 'We believe him. It's unacceptable.' FIFA was asked to comment last night but, as yet, has said nothing. Cabral, a 39-year-old Argentinian who has been at Pachuca in Mexico for the past six years, insisted he was innocent of the claim against him. The centre-back told reporters he called Rudiger 'cagon de mierda', a profanity used in Argentina to describe somebody as a coward. 'It was a fight, we collided, he said that I hit him with my hand and then there was an argument and the referee made the sign of racism,' Cabral said. 'In Argentina, we say 'cagon de mierda'. I told him the same thing.' At first, Abatti intervened in the confrontation between Rudiger and Cabral and ordered both players to walk away but when Rudiger returned to protest further, Abatti made the 'X' gesture — introduced by FIFA last year so officials, players and coaches could flag racist incidents. Pachuca head coach Jaime Lozano insisted he was unaware of the controversy but defended Cabral's character. 'I will talk to him,' Lozano said, 'but knowing him from before, this has never happened with him, nor with any of these Pachuca players in our league. I tell you I can put my hands in the fire for my captain.' Advertisement This isn't the first time Rudiger has been the target of alleged racial abuse. He once wrote an article about his experience, saying: 'Every once in a while, we have a big social media campaign and everybody feels good about themselves, and then we go back to normal. Nothing ever really changes.' Five years on, it's a strikingly pertinent comment. The biggest breaking story you're likely waking up to comes from America's east coast. John Textor is selling his minority stake in Crystal Palace to none other than Woody Johnson, the long-time owner of the New York Jets NFL franchise. U.S. money continues to pour into European football, especially the Premier League. While Johnson's 43 per cent shareholding won't give the 78-year-old control of Palace (a relief, perhaps, given the Jets' many years of misery), we'll see how the partnership evolves. Subject to Premier League approval, it should be signed and sealed. The trade should also guard Palace's place in next season's Europa League, which was under threat because Textor also held shares in rival Europa League contender Lyon, something UEFA forbids. As Oli Kay writes, the conflict of interests merits a discussion about the sport's attitude to multi-club groups — but those concerned might just have been spared any embarrassment. Yesterday's goalless grind between Monterrey and River Plate had us nodding off… except in the moments where Monterrey found themselves facing direct free kicks. If you've been following social media, you might have picked up on the fascination around the Mexican team's novel approach to defending set pieces on the edge of their own box, effectively using two defensive walls a few yards apart (see the image above, from their previous fixture against Inter). Advertisement After a bit of investigating, Jack Lang found out that Monterrey have been doing this for a while. The theory of the formation is that it gives the attacking player neither corner of the net to aim at, inviting a shot down the middle instead. After working against Inter and going viral, let's see if the tactic catches on. Innovation usually spreads. We're edging towards the sharper end of the Club World Cup now. Here's a rapid rundown of other events: The last 16 is starting to fill up. Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Juventus and Flamengo are all through to the knockouts. City blasted six goals past Abu Dhabi's Al Ain last night, aided by an arcing chip (below) that Ilkay Gundogan probably didn't mean. I'm not sure this is wise pre-match talk but Palmeiras defender Murilo, who in YouTuber style describes himself as 'Team Ronaldo', says he'll do Cristiano's 'siu' celebration if he scores against Lionel Messi's Inter Miami later. Famous last words. If Nicolas Jackson's place at Chelsea was under threat from new recruit Liam Delap, it's even more so after a stupid boot-to-shin red card against Flamengo. He'd been on the pitch for a whole four minutes. On Friday, we asked you to name the six England players who won caps in the 1990s, the 2000s and the 2010s. They were Rio Ferdinand, Jamie Carragher, Emile Heskey, Wes Brown, David James and Frank Lampard. Brown completely stumped me. (Kick-offs ET/UK time. All Club World Cup matches are shown on DAZN in the U.S. and UK, as well as on the other channels stated.) Club World Cup: Group A (both 9pm/2am): Inter Miami vs Palmeiras — TBS, Fubo (U.S. only); Porto vs Al Ahly; Group B (both 3pm/8pm): Atletico Madrid vs Botafogo — 5Action (UK only); Seattle Sounders vs Paris Saint-Germain. All change for the clash with the Binos as Trialist, Trialist, Trialist, Trialist, Trialist, Trialist and Trialist come in for Trialist, Trialist, Trialist, Trialist, Trialist, Trialist and Trialist. Trialist, Trialist, Trialist and Trialist make up the bench. — Dumbarton FC (@Dumbartonfc) June 21, 2025 One of the traditions of pre-season friendlies is that any player on trial with a club is listed on the teamsheet simply as 'trialist'. The anonymity can be a nightmare for journalists, who often have no idea who they're watching. Dumbarton in Scotland took the protocol to extremes on Saturday. They are in the process of exiting administration and, as such, have neither a squad to speak of nor the freedom to sign anybody new yet. So it was that their entire line-up (and four substitutes) consisted of unidentified trialists. Thoughts with whichever football writers tried to cover that. (Top image:)
