Ancelotti bid an emotional farewell to ريال مدريد at the end of last season, departing the club as the most successful manager in their history with 15 trophies to his name across two spells. Having been a head coach for three decades, it felt like his move to البرازيل would be his last big managerial job. However, the Italian has confirmed that he doesn’t rule out returning to the dugout at the Santiago Bernabeu for the third time.
While speaking to إي إس بي إن earlier this week, Ancelotti discussed his future with the Selecao and admitted that he has “no problem if the CBF (Brazil Football Federation) wants to continue” their association. Indeed, the legendary Italian signed only a one-year deal with Brazil, which expires after next year’s كأس العالم. Ancelotti, though, said that “it would be لطيف - جيد” to stay at the helm until the 2030 World Cup.
Despite stating in May that his club career might be over, Ancelotti was open to the possibility of returning to the Spanish capital and manage Los Blancos. “Real Madrid is the only team I will accept managing after Brazil,” he revealed in an interview with ليكيب.
Having secured qualification to next year’s World Cup, Ancelotti’s troops will return to action next month, when they take on Asian heavyweights كوريا الجنوبية و اليابان in friendly fixtures.
