Carlo Ancelotti’s LinkedIn must be pumping – 03/04/2023 – Sandro Macedo

Since the recent FIFA date, clubs in the world’s top leagues have experienced a carnage of coaches, in the best “Brazilian Round 38, Where Death Lurks” style (don’t miss the 2023 version, with subtitles in Portuguese).

Bayern Munich was quick. Quickly fired (Julian Nagelsmann) and quickly hired (Thomas Tuchel).

Then England had its “Game of Thrones” Red Wedding week. Practically in the same episode, the coaches of Tottenham, Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Leicester lost their minds.

Soon, Nagelsmann became the favorite pint of the English London pub. Tottenham and Chelsea have a big eye on the German, who swears that he will only decide on the future after the end of the current season.

And us with that? Well, there should be more vacancies in millionaire clubs in the coming weeks. And one of them could be at Real Madrid, with the darling of the CBF, Carlo Ancelotti. The “blancos” have already lost Espanyol to Barcelona and play the cards of the year in the Champions League – they face Chelsea next week, with some interim.

Apparently, Ancelotti prefers to stay at Real, where he is a darling. But if he loses the Champions League, he will have his LinkedIn shaken at the end of the European season.

If Real decides to date Nagelsmann, Ancelotti may have his resume circulating in the HRs of Tottenham, Chelsea (again) or PSG (again).

And Ancelotti’s LinkedIn is attractive. He’s there: the only champion of the Champions League and the five main leagues in Europe (Germany, Spain, England, France and Italy).

Yes, you could say: “But Pep Guardiola or Jurgen Klopp never managed a team in France or Italy” or “coach PSG and only win the French is it worth it?”. They would be valid points, dear reader. Dorival Júnior was bigger for Flamengo than Ancelotti for PSG, without a doubt. But that doesn’t mean Professor Dori is employed.

Before his resurrection at Real, Ancelotti was at Everton, a team that pays well but is not exactly a contender for the Premier League title. At this time, yes, it would be easier for the CBF to seduce the Italian mister.

But then came the new marriage to Real and the magical conquest of the Champions League in 2022, when the team and coach showed that they had a pact with Coisa-Ruim —a campaign full of miracles (or spells) can be reviewed in “Real Madrid – Until the End”, a three-episode series recently released on Apple TV+.

Ancelotti just didn’t say “no” to the selection because he wasn’t pressured. The CBF seems to have no pride and is not worried about being the last card in the Italian’s hand.

But it’s going to get boring waiting so long to see your invitation rejected. It’s about time for the Brazilian confederation to put plan B into practice, which could even be Jorge Jesus – who has already appeared in zero rumors to train in the Premier League… including those involving Leicester.

Another issue that comes up, and LinkedIn doesn’t show it, is Ancelotti’s salary. A report by L’Équipe this week points out that the coach is seventh on the list of the ten best paid in the world, with 11 million euros a year; last year, the Spanish newspaper As said that Tite earned 3.8 million euros in the national team, or about a third of Ancelotti. That would be a nice pay raise around here.

But between us (no one wants to say it out loud), there is no reason for a top technician with a market in Europe to drop the goose that lays the euro eggs for the… Brazilian team.
