Carlo Ancelotti given an ultimatum
Carlo Ancelotti will have to decide by May whether he wants to take charge of the Brazil national team, after the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) reportedly informed the Real Madrid coach that they will no longer be waiting for him.
It is no secret that the Italian coach has been a potential target for Brazil since the departure of coach Tite, with persistent rumours linking the 65-year-old with a move to the five-time World Cup winners, although he never publicly declared his intention to leave the Spanish giants.
Recent reports from Spain suggested that Ancelotti's tenure at the Santiago Bernabeu is expected to end at the end of the season and this would be the last time the former Milan and Roma coach becomes the new coach of Brazil, KosovaPress reported.
According to "OK Diario", the CBF contacted Ancelotti's entourage after the Spanish Super Cup, informing him that they expect him to make a final decision within May.
Dorival Junior is currently Brazil's head coach, but his results throughout the World Cup qualifying campaign have been inconsistent, which is why the football federation is still looking for more credible alternatives with a view to the 2026 World Cup.
