The future of Carlo Ancelotti has taken a drastic turn when everything seemed to indicate that he would take the reins of the Brazil national team for the 2026 World Cup, as reported by Relevo. Just weeks before his supposed official debut with the Canarinha against Ecuador, the plan seems to have completely collapsed due to Real Madrid's refusal to release him before the Club World Cup, causing a rift between the white club and the Brazilian Football Confederation.

The situation escalated even further in the past hours after the Italian coach's arrival from London accompanied by an emissary from the CBF, with whom he had finalized the details of his incorporation into the Brazilian bench. The move did not sit well with the Merengue board, perceived as a parallel maneuver while he remains under contract until 2025. The club expected an orderly departure, but the handling of timing has put everything in jeopardy.

Will Ancelotti stay for the Club World Cup?

The white board had already prepared the scenario for a controlled handover. Santiago Solari, current football director at Valdebebas, was chosen to take over as interim coach in the Club World Cup if Ancelotti left his position after the season. Everything pointed to Xabi Alonso taking over in 2025. However, if the operation with Brazil definitively falls apart, Ancelotti's and the white bench's future remains uncertain.

There is a growing urgency in the CBF to have a coach before the start of the official competition. Ednaldo Rodrigues, the president of the organization, cannot afford further delays, and alternatives are already being considered in case Ancelotti never arrives. The unexpected and uncomfortable outcome leaves the Italian coach trapped between two commitments that no longer seem compatible.
