Ancelotti reinforces that he wants to fulfill his contract with Real

the interest of CBF in hiring Carlo Ancelotti is becoming a “soap opera”. This Monday, after flirting with the direction of the Brazilian Football Confederation, the Italian coach again stated that he intends to fulfill his contract with the Real Madrid until the end. His bond with the Spanish club will end only in June 2024.

“There’s a nice saying that works just in case: words go with the wind. And that’s how it is: I have a contract until June 30, 2024 and I’d like to respect it”, declared the Italian in an interview with Italian radio station Rai Radio 1 He didn’t make it clear which words he was referring to in this interview.

At the beginning of the month, Ancelotti indicated interest in talking to the CBF leadership about the possibility of being the new coach of the Brazilian national team. “I don’t know the president of the Brazilian Confederation. He wants to talk to me, I would love to meet him”, commented the Real Madrid coach.

At the time, he also reinforced that he intended to stay at the Spanish club, but he showed a more flexible attitude towards fulfilling the contract until the end. “At the moment, I’m not worried about fulfilling the contract with this club. Everything is quite clear, I’ll stay here until Real Madrid allows me to stay here”, declared the Italian.

One of the most successful coaches in history, Ancelotti is the number 1 priority of the CBF, as the president of the CBF, Ednaldo Rodrigues, has already admitted. But still no conversation between the parties would have taken place. The entity’s dream is to count on the coach from the second half.

Before that, Ancelotti has many commitments with Real, such as the dispute of the Champions League, the Spanish Championship and the Copa del Rey. The Madrid team is in the quarterfinals of the European competition and in the final of the Copa del Rey. In Spanish, he is vice-leader, distant 12 points from leader Barcelona.
