Ancelotti has decided on his future

Real Madrid's head coach, Carlo Ancelotti, has made a definitive decision regarding his future, as reported by AS.

The Italian specialist has decided to remain with Real Madrid at least until the end of the upcoming season. He is very close to finalizing the terms of a new contract with the Madrid club, which will expire in the summer of 2025.

Earlier reports suggested that in the summer of 2024, Ancelotti would take charge of the Brazilian national team, which was left without a head coach after Tite's dismissal. The parties were on the verge of reaching an agreement, but the Italian did not sign the contract definitively.
