Carlo Ancelotti was once again linked to the position of technical director of the Brazilian soccer team. The rumor about the Italian arriving in Brazil to manage the Canarinha is not new, it has been said on numerous occasions but it was seen that this opportunity could be the right one to come to fruition.
In a new press conference ahead of the La Liga game with Cadíz next Saturday, Ancelotti referred to this situation: “The club is calm and I am sure that I will be here next season, that we will respect the contract.” In this way, the Italian grounded the speculations that existed about him taking over the Brazilian National Team in the middle of the year, when this season will come to an end.

Although the name of Ancelotti was the number one to take the position left by Tite, the president of the CBF, Ednaldo Rodrigues had already stated that he was not the only one in the pipeline to succeed him. The first friendlies of the post-Tite era were directed by the coach of the U20 Ramon Menezes but simply as an interim.
Asked about the balance of the season at Real Madrid, Ancelotti did not dare to put a score at this time: “We have to wait for that. The final evaluation is at the end of the season. It can be a successful season if everything goes well or a season with doubts” he stated at a press conference.
Real Madrid is second behind Barcelona in the league, soon to play the Copa del Rey final against Osasuna on 5/6 and with the Champions League return against Chelsea next week, so there are several fronts in which the team must still fight.
