Real Madrid manager, Carlo Ancelotti has come out to admit that he was in touch with the Brazil football federation before signing his new contract at the club. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he was regularly speaking with the ex-president of the Brazilian federation, Ednaldo Rodrigues, and he is grateful to him for the interest he showed in his coaching work.
Ancelotti added that taking the Brazil job was always dependent on if Real Madrid wants to keep him or not.
His words, “The reality is what everyone knows. I had contact with the [now former] president of the Brazilian federation, Ednaldo Rodrigues. I want to thank him for his affection and interest, it made me very proud, but what’s clear to everyone is it depends on my situation at Real Madrid. I’m grateful for the interest but in the end, it turned out how I wanted: staying here.
It’s exciting to think about, but I don’t know if the Brazil national team will want me in 2026. Obviously, I’m very happy with my renewal. It was quite straightforward, it was fast, without problems, without doubts. It’s my last job, that’s what I’ve said before and I confirm it. But when this [contract] is over in 2026, I could carry on. It depends on the success we have… I’ll be coach until 2026 and let’s hope in 2027 and 2028.”
WOW.
Real Madrid Club de Fútbol, commonly referred to as Real Madrid, is a Spanish professional football club based in Madrid. The club competes in La Liga, the top tier of Spanish football.
Real Madrid has maintained the white shirt for its home kit throughout the history of the club. There was, however, one season that the shirt and shorts were not both white. It was an initiative undertaken by Juan Padrós in honor of an English team Corinthian F.C., which he had met on one of his trips, one of the most famous teams at the time known for its elegance and sportsmanship.
It was under Florentino Pérez’s first presidency (2000–2006) that Real Madrid started its ambition of becoming the world’s richest professional football club. The club ceded part of its training grounds to the city of Madrid in 2001, and sold the rest to four corporations: Repsol YPF, Mutua Automovilística de Madrid, Sacyr Vallehermoso and OHL.
Hala Madrid is a magazine published quarterly for the Real Madrid club members and the Madridistas Fan Club card holders. The phrase Hala Madrid, meaning “Forward Madrid” or “Go Madrid”, is also the title of the club’s official anthem, which is often sung by the Madridistas (the club’s fans).
