The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) have a keen interest in securing the services of Carlo Ancelotti, a managerial maestro with an illustrious career.
Ancelotti's return to Real Madrid for his second stint has been nothing short of spectacular.
In the past two years, Ancelotti has orchestrated a triumphant resurgence for Los Blancos, conquering La Liga, the UEFA Champions League, the Copa del Rey, the FIFA Club World Cup, and the UEFA Super Cup. This remarkable haul nearly completes the Spanish giants' trophy cabinet once again.
Nevertheless, Ancelotti's future with Real Madrid remains shrouded in uncertainty, raising questions about his continuity beyond the current La Liga season.
Edu Aguirre, a respected Spanish journalist, sheds light on the situation, revealing that Ancelotti is open to staying if offered a contract extension by Real Madrid president Florentino Perez.
This revelation comes as a surprise, given the recent confirmation of Ancelotti's appointment by the CBF president. However, it's essential to consider that Ancelotti's camp has consistently denied any concrete plans for the upcoming season.
In the event of Ancelotti's departure, a shortlist of potential successors has emerged. Leading the pack are Xabi Alonso and Alvaro Arbeloa, who are seen as strong candidates to take the helm.
Additionally, the possibility of promoting Raul Gonzalez to the managerial role has been discussed, but recent developments indicate that he may be swayed by an offer from Villarreal, making his appointment uncertain.
As the football world eagerly awaits Ancelotti's decision and Real Madrid's next move, the suspense surrounding the managerial situation at the club continues to captivate fans and pundits alike.
