The reporter reported coldly Reversed by Barcelona on May 11, Real Madrid conceded 16 goals in the national derby this season and was humiliated by its sworn rival "four kills", and "all four are empty" is almost a foregone conclusion. Originally, Real Madrid decided to announce the official departure date of Carlo Ancelotti based on the result of the national derby, but the rout made the consideration meaningless. However, for the Brazilian Football Federation, the official announcement of Ancelotti cannot be delayed, because the president of the Brazilian Football Federation, Ednaldo, may be suspended at any time, and the new coach must be finalized as soon as possible during his tenure.
On May 7, Brazil's Federal Supreme Court ruled that Ednaardo should continue to perform his duties, while the Rio State Court is still investigating him for allegedly forging signatures on legal agreements. Hearing was scheduled for May 12 at the Rio State Court in the afternoon of São Paulo time, but Ednaardo was absent. The hearing was therefore cancelled, meaning that he could be suspended at any time. In fact, Ednaaldo worked overtime that morning, and the middleman Diego Fernandez quickly signed in Madrid, and at the same time reached an agreement with Real Madrid. At 10:53 a.m. São Paulo time, the official website of the Brazilian Football Federation quickly announced that Ancelotti had taken office. Originally, the Brazilian Football Association agreed with Real Madrid to issue two announcements at the same time on Monday afternoon, Sao Paulo time, but the Brazilian Football Federation, which was worried about long nights and dreams, chose to make a separate announcement in the morning.
Ancelotti's contract is "1+4": if the Brazilian team fails to qualify for the World Cup finals, the Brazilian Football Federation can unilaterally terminate the contract for free; If Brazil reach the semi-finals of next year's World Cup, the contract will be automatically renewed for four years until the 2030 World Cup. Carlo Ancelotti unilaterally terminated his contract after next year's World Cup and only had to pay $1 million in liquidated damages.
Ancelotti earns a whopping €10 million a year, slightly less than the €11 million he earned at Real Madrid. The annual salary after tax is 7.25 million euros, which is also higher than Real Madrid (6.05 million euros). If Brazil win the World Cup next year, Carlo Ancelotti will also receive a bonus of up to 5 million euros, as well as a 20% salary increase for the next four years of his contract. This annual salary surpasses Tuchel (€6 million, England), Pochettino (5.5 million, USA), Nagelsmann (4.8 million, Germany), Heinach (4.8 million, Saudi Arabia) and Martinez (4 million, Portugal), and is the highest paid team manager in the world.
The Brazilian Football Federation has also rented a private jet for Ancelotti to travel between Europe and Brazil, rented a mansion close to the headquarters of the Brazilian Football Federation, and even equipped with a bulletproof limousine and personal bodyguards. Add to that Ancelotti's international health and life insurance, all of which are covered by the Brazilian Football Federation.
Carlo Ancelotti is the fourth coach in the history of the Brazilian team, the first being Uruguayan Platro 100 years ago. He only served for 19 days and played four games to finish runners-up in the Copa America that year. The 1944 Portuguese Jorgaeka was Brazil's first European coach and teamed up with Brazilian coach Flavio Costa to lead the team to two warm-up matches against Uruguay. The third is the Argentine Nunez in 1965, who led the Brazilian team led by Palmeiras to play one warm-up match against Uruguay.
Brazil is the seventh South American national team to hire an Italian coach after Chile, Argentina, Venezuela, Bolivia, Paraguay and Ecuador. Carlo Ancelotti is the 8th Italian coach in the world with an active national team, along with Montella (Turkey), Marco Rossi (Hungary), Karzona (Slovakia), Nicolato (Latvia), Dreo (Malta) and Chivoli (San Marino).
In addition to his impressive championship resume, the Brazilian Football Federation's confidence in Ancelotti lies in the fact that he has coached 19 active Brazilian players and is no stranger to Brazilian football. Real Madrid alone has Vinicius, Rodrygo, Militão and Endrick, as well as Casemiro and Richarlison. Carlo Ancelotti has spoken to Neymar and Casemiro via video call, as well as players such as Antony (Betis), Cayo Enrique (Monaco) and Alex Sandro (Lille).
Carlo Ancelotti will meet with Brazil coordinator Caetano and technical specialist Juan to take up his duties at the headquarters of the Brazilian Football Federation on May 26 to announce the squad for the June World Cup qualifiers. Brazil travel to Plateau on June 5 to take on South American second-placed Ecuador and on June 10 at home to fifth-placed Paraguay. With four rounds of South American qualifiers remaining, Brazil are six points ahead of seventh-placed Venezuela in the intercontinental play-off zone and will need at least seven points from the next four rounds to confirm qualification for the World Cup.
However, Ancelotti's son and assistant coach Davide will most likely not continue to assist his father in the World Cup. He is becoming part of a cycle of managerial changes in European football, with Bayer Leverkusen's Marcos Alonso set to succeed Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid, with Serie A boss Fabrice Fabregas a priority for the Bundesliga giants. And if Fabregas leaves, Como's target is Carlo Ancelotti Jr. In addition, Glasgow Rangers, who are being acquired by the United States, are also interested in him. Davide will help his father in June at most, and then go solo.
Ancelotti's official departure also opened the door for Alonso to take over to Real Madrid. Yesterday, the mainstream European sports media confirmed that Alonso has signed a three-year contract with Real Madrid and will officially take office on June 1. Alonso signed a contract with Real Madrid the day after the official announcement of his departure at the end of the season last week. Real Madrid will officially announce Alonso's appointment after the official announcement of Carlo Ancelotti's departure and the farewell ceremony. Alonso will cancel his summer break to lead the team to the Club World Cup. Alonso will bring his familiar physical coach Carmenford and assistant coach Encinas to the post, and Real Madrid's current physical coach Pintus is likely to enter the Real Madrid echelon as a physical coach. In terms of summer recruitment, in addition to Alexander-Arnold, Alonso also hopes to bring a new central defender and left-back, a total of three new signings to the Club World Cup.
The era of Real Madrid officially began with the hasty official announcement of the Brazilian Football Federation. In 2017, when Alonso said goodbye to Bayern, Carlo Ancelotti hugged his protégé. Now, Alonso will take up the mantle and challenge for the Champions League trophy.
