Rodriguez says Ancelotti is the best choice for Brazil national team coach
2023-05-05 12:22Brazilian Football Federation president Edenardo Rodriguez is reportedly looking to hire Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti, whose contract expires in 2024 .
Rodriguez has publicly confirmed rumors that Ancelotti has been linked with Brazil's men's national team , a public statement that could bring the veteran coach closer to opting for Brazil.
He acknowledged the rumors in an interview with beIN Sports, claiming that Ancelotti is the perfect candidate to succeed former coach Tite as Brazil national team boss.
Rodriguez said: " I am not saying that Ancelotti has received an offer from us, but we are checking whether he is willing to come. I will tell the truth, we have a plan A, there is no need to hide, Ancelotti is our first choice."
Ancelotti has repeatedly reiterated his desire to respect his Real Madrid contract, which expires in 2024. Speaking firmly to Radio Anch' io Sport on Radiouno Rai, Ancelotti said: "There's a good saying that applies to this situation: empty words. I have a contract until June 30 , 2024 , and I Hope to respect it."
Ancelotti's Real Madrid, who are in the Copa del Rey final on Saturday night, have reached their fourth successive Champions League semi-final, where they face Manchester City in a rematch of last year's semi-final.
However, they have all but lost the league title and Ancelotti could also be sacked if they fail to win the Champions League, which would open the door for him to coach Brazil.
Real Madrid's next two games will make or break the season. They face Osasuna in the Copa del Rey final on Saturday 6 May before taking on Manchester City in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final on Tuesday 9 May .
