Backlash Against Ancelotti in Brazil After Renewing with Madrid: ‘What He Has Done…
One of the biggest soap operas in recent months has come to an end—Carlo Ancelotti has renewed with Real Madrid. This news has taken more than a few by ‘surprise,’ including the Brazilian press. In fact, they did not hesitate to launch a colossal ‘rant.’
Carlo Ancelotti has been a clear protagonist in Madrid’s rumor mill in recent weeks. Remember that the Italian coach’s contract with Real Madrid was set to expire this season, a circumstance that was causing all sorts of speculation. Additionally, the shadow of the Brazilian national team loomed large, to the point that many media outlets considered Carlo Ancelotti’s signing a done deal.
However, the only reality is that the Italian coach has always prioritized an offer from Real Madrid above all else. Thus, Florentino Pérez, impressed by Ancelotti’s excellent work this season and the siren calls about his future, did not hesitate to secure his renewal until June 30, 2026. This is great news for the Madridista family but not so much for Brazilians.
In fact, the Brazilian press seems to have taken Carlo Ancelotti’s renewal very poorly. Antonio Chamorro, a Brazilian journalist, stated the following: “Ancelotti chose the easy path, which is coaching Real Madrid.” A tremendous rant and, at the same time, a tremendous embarrassment. There is nothing greater than coaching Real Madrid. Ancelotti is the best possible coach for the helm of the world’s biggest club.
Happiness Carlo Ancelotti will be able to continue making history at Real Madrid for at least two more seasons. This news has been well received by the white squad, which is delighted with the Italian’s work.
The Brazilian Confederation, on the other hand, seems to have to settle for not having one of the most successful coaches in the history of football.
