Jaya9 exclusive analysis: Real Madrid’s legendary manager Carlo Ancelotti is on the brink of ending his second spell at the Bernabéu following their Champions League quarter-final collapse against Arsenal. The Italian maestro, who has won 11 trophies since returning in 2021, faces an uncertain future as pressure mounts ahead of the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona on April 26.
Ancelotti’s Uncertain Future at Real Madrid
The 65-year-old tactician dropped a bombshell after Madrid’s 2-1 home defeat to Arsenal (5-1 on aggregate), admitting his tenure could end “tomorrow, in 10 days, or in a year.” While he’s expected to stay until the Copa del Rey final, Jaya9 sources suggest his departure is all but confirmed, with El Clásico on May 11 likely to be managed by an interim coach.
Brazil’s Pursuit of Ancelotti Gains Momentum
The Brazilian Football Federation (CBF) has been relentless in their pursuit of Ancelotti, viewing him as the ideal candidate to revive their struggling national team. With World Cup qualifiers against Paraguay and Ecuador in June, Brazil’s urgency is palpable.
Key Developments:
- Diego Fernandes, a Brazilian businessman with close ties to Ancelotti’s camp, is mediating negotiations.
- The CBF fears delays could force them to consider alternatives like Al Hilal’s Jorge Jesus.
- Ancelotti’s potential appointment would mark Brazil’s first foreign manager in over 60 years.
Who Could Replace Ancelotti at Real Madrid?
Former Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon exclusively told Jaya9:
“Xabi Alonso is a strong candidate, but his Leverkusen commitment complicates matters. Klopp’s name is also circulating, but Ancelotti’s successor must handle the immense pressure of managing Madrid.”
Top Contenders for the Bernabéu Hot Seat:
- Xabi Alonso (Bayer Leverkusen) – A fan favorite with deep Madrid roots.
- Jurgen Klopp (Unattached) – A proven winner but may seek a sabbatical.
- Zinedine Zidane – Could a third stint be on the cards?
Ancelotti’s Legacy and What’s Next
Despite the looming exit, Ancelotti’s legacy at Madrid remains untouchable:
- 2 La Liga titles
- 2 Champions League trophies (including a historic double in 2022)
- Club World Cup dominance
His next move? Brazil seems the most likely destination, but don’t rule out a surprise Premier League return.
