Carlo Ancelotti Says He Is Focusing on Real Madrid Despite Brazil Coaching Offer

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has stated that while the Brazilian national team are interested in his services, he is keen to stay with the Spanish club. Reports have been circulating that the South American nation are keen on appointing Ancelotti, with their current manager Tite having left after the World Cup.

Vinicius, the forward of Madrid, recently expressed his belief that his club's coach fancies taking on the Selecao job. Ancelotti was quick to respond, saying that he is flattered by the attention.

It's true that the Brazilian national team is interested in me and that is a nice feeling, Ancelotti said in a press conference before Madrid's game against Real Valladolid. "But I have a contract and I want to honor it.

Carlo Ancelotti, 63, has a contract until 2024 at Real Madrid. After making a return in 2022, he steered Madrid to a magnificent double of LaLiga and Champions League titles last season. This season, Madrid are trailing Barcelona by 12 points in LaLiga but remain hopeful in the Champions League and Copa del Rey. Ancelotti has declared his wish to stay at the Bernabeu and his future will likely be determined by Madrid's performance in those two cup competitions.

Ancelotti stated that everything was plain to see, and he intended to remain at Madrid for as long as it was possible. He expressed how he felt the love of president Perez, the fans, and his team mates, saying the atmosphere around him was very soothing. He then went on to mention the two and a half months left in the season, where he aims to win two honours. When asked about the Brazilian Football Federation's interest in him, he said he doesn't know Ednaldo Rodrigues, but would welcome the chance to speak with him.
