Following Madrid’s Champions League exit, questions grow about Carlo Ancelotti’s future—with Brazil potentially offering clarity.
Brazil Addresses the Big Question Mark Over Ancelotti’s Future at Real Madrid
The rumors surrounding Carlo Ancelotti’s next move continue to swirl, with Brazil being frequently mentioned as his potential next destination.
There’s no doubt that Ancelotti is one of the main targets of criticism following Real Madrid’s elimination from the Champions League—if not the biggest. Many fans are now demanding his immediate departure, believing a change is urgently needed. Amidst this growing pressure, Brazil returns to the spotlight as a possible path forward.
Real Madrid Uncertain, Brazil Could Bring Clarity
According to Relevo, “Carlo Ancelotti already knows he will be leaving Real Madrid. There are doubts about his participation in the Club World Cup.”
This creates a dilemma for the club: Should they dismiss him before the tournament or let him finish the season? Brazil’s offer might help settle that question.
What Ancelotti Said After the Match
When asked directly in a press conference whether he would coach at the Club World Cup, Ancelotti replied, “I can’t talk about that right now.”
On whether this was his last Champions League game, he said:
“I don’t know. The club may decide to make a change. It could be this year or next, when my contract ends. When my time here is over, there’s only one thing I’ll do—thank this club. It could be tomorrow, in ten days, or a year from now. Whatever happens, I’ll just be grateful.”
A journalist also asked him, “Have you thought about whether you’re still the right coach for this team?” To which he simply answered: “I haven’t thought about that.”
On the Match Itself
Reflecting on the game, Ancelotti said:
“It’s always a disappointment to go out of the Champions League, that’s part of football. There’s the joyful side, which we’ve experienced many times, and then there’s the sad side. We have to handle both. We still have three competitions left, and we need to stay focused on La Liga, the Copa del Rey final, and the Club World Cup.”
He added:
“In both matches, Arsenal were better than us. We gave everything in the tie. Things could’ve changed with the penalty that wasn’t given—it might’ve shifted the momentum. But Arsenal defended well, and we struggled to find space. Our intensity improved, but it wasn’t enough.”
