Carlo Ancelotti ‘to leave Real Madrid for Brazil and won’t even stay in charge for Club World Cup’

CARLO ANCELOTTI will leave Real Madrid BEFORE the Club World Cup starts, according to reports.

Ancelotti is under immense pressure after seeing Real Madrid crash out of the Champions League and lose the Copa del Rey.

And it would seem the Italian is now set to depart the Spanish giants when the club season ends.

According to The Athletic, the legendary boss will take charge of the Brazilian national team.

It is understood he will sign an initial one-year deal to the end of the 2026 World Cup and start his role in June.

However, that timeline would mean Ancelotti will leave Los Blancos BEFORE the Club World Cup starts.

The 65-year-old has a contract at the Bernabeu running until the summer of 2026.

But poor results this season have led to intense pressure on his position, although dressing room sources told The Athletic that Ancelotti had informed members of the dressing room about his decision to leave.

The decision means Real chiefs Florentino Perez and Co will likely need to appoint an interim manager to take charge of the newly formatted summer tournament being held in the USA.
