Dorival Junior was fired as head coach of Brazil’s national football team following a run of poor results during a 14-month period. After Brazil lost to Argentina, their bitter rivals, 4-1 in the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers, Dorival was fired.

Brazil had not played to their full potential under Dorival Junior. The head coach’s overall record tells their supporters the same thing. His choice of team, particularly the one he made for the most recent international break, has also come under fire on numerous occasions.

Ancelotti has been referred to as the perfect head coach of the Brazil national team for a number of years due to his close relationships with some of their best players, including Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo, Endrick, Casemiro, and Eder Militao. But Ancelotti has insisted that he would keep his word and is still bound by his Real Madrid contract through the summer of 2026.

The Italian may depart Madrid this summer in a move that would see Los Blancos sign long-term target Xabi Alonso from Bayer Leverkusen, according to Relevo, who also mention that Ancelotti has initially shown an openness to the talks.

Speaking at his pregame press conference on Friday, Ancelotti, however, used the occasion to reiterate that he has no immediate plans to leave Madrid. He responded succinctly and clearly when asked if he had communicated with Brazil this week: “No.”

Additionally, he denied suggestions that Ronaldo Nazario had participated in discussions between himself and the Brazilian federation, saying, “I don’t remember talking about that with him.” He stated, “I don’t remember a lot of the things we talked about,” according to Football Espana.

“The contract is clear; I have nothing to add to this,” Ancelotti went on. Even though I have a contract with Real Madrid, I have a lot of love for the Brazilian national team, its players, and its supporters. The agreement is transparent.
