Ancelotti publicly comments on leaving Real and taking over the Brazil national team

The rumors have finally been officially confirmed: Carlo Ancelotti has become the head coach of the Brazil national team. However, Real Madrid is in no hurry to bid farewell to the Italian manager, who decided to speak out on the matter himself.

Details: Ancelotti stated that for the next two weeks, while he remains in charge of Real, his focus is solely on working with Los Blancos. As for the club not officially announcing his departure yet—that's entirely up to them.

Quote: "My feelings... From the 26th, I will be the coach of the Brazil national team. It's an important challenge, but for now, I'm still Real Madrid's coach. I want to finish this chapter with dignity—it's been a fantastic adventure. I know you're curious about what I'll do next, but I have to focus on the days I still have here. Out of respect for the club and the fans, I'm concentrating on wrapping up this incredible journey.

Why was the announcement made now? It happened because the Brazilian Football Confederation released the corresponding statement, and from the 26th, I'll be Brazil's coach. Real will make their announcement whenever they see fit. There's no problem at all. I don't know exactly when that will happen—they'll decide when the time is right. There's nothing more to add. And when did I find out I wouldn't be staying? That's absolutely personal—something I've discussed with the club," Ancelotti said.
