Carlo Ancelotti, the most successful manager in Champions League football, has left Real Madrid for the second time. He will handle the training of the Brazilian national team. He last joined the Santiago Bernabeu in 2021 after leaving Everton.
Real won the 2022 and 2024 Champions League titles after he recreated the old magic at Madrid. It was his fifth taste of European competition as a coach. He also won this title for Real in 2014. The other two Champions League successes he had with AC Milan were in 2003 and 2007.
Ancelotti won the Spanish La Liga title in 2022, making him the coach who won Europe's top five league titles. After Zinedine Zidane left Real after winning the Champions League title, Ancelotti became Real's coach for the second time.
Last season, Real won the Spanish La Liga title along with the Champions League, but this time, the team's performance is not the same. The team lost to arch-rivals Barcelona in the League Cup final and Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-finals. Real has become weak in the La Liga title race after losing 4-3 to Barcelona after leading by 2 goals only on Sunday.
On Monday, he decided to leave Real and became the first foreign coach of the Brazilian national football team. 5-time world champions Brazil are currently struggling in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Only in March, Brazil sacked Dorival Junior, leaving the coaching position vacant. In 2022, Ancelotti came close to becoming the coach of Brazil, but later that possibility was dashed.
Brazil has suffered 5 defeats in 14 World Cup qualifying matches and three matches have ended in a draw. Next year the World Cup is being held in the US, Mexico and Canada. There is a strong possibility that Real will replace the 65-year-old Ancelotti with Havi Alonso.
