Carlo Ancelotti has finally spoken out about his decision to leave Real Madrid and become the coach of the Brazilian national team. The Italian coach believes that this is the right time to make a big change in his career.
Ancelotti was recently announced as the new coach of Brazil, although Madrid has not made an official statement. Xabi Alonso is scheduled to replace him on June 1, 2025.
This departure marks the end of Ancelotti’s second period at Madrid. He leaves the club as the most successful coach in Los Blancos history.
During his two career periods at the Santiago Bernabeu, Ancelotti has won 15 trophies. That includes three Champions League trophies and two La Liga titles.
Ancelotti emphasized that he is still focused on completing his duties with Real Madrid. He wants to end his beautiful journey with the best results.
“My feeling is that I will be the coach of Brazil starting May 26. But I am still the current coach of Madrid and I want to end this period well,” he said.
He also said that life and football are adventures that have a beginning and an end. According to him, his time in Madrid was one of the best phases of his life.
Although this season has not gone smoothly, Ancelotti does not feel disappointed or angry. He remains proud of the great achievements that have been achieved.
“There is no frustration. If from the beginning I knew I would win 11 titles in four years, I would have signed it with blood,” he said.
He called his time in Madrid an unforgettable moment. The titles created memories that he will carry throughout his life.
Ancelotti revealed that the decision to leave was made together. He welcomed this change with a mature and natural attitude.
“I only realized yesterday that I would stop on the 25th. It was time for a change, and nothing more,” he said with a smile.
He emphasized that he never had a problem with the club. Ancelotti still holds Real Madrid in his heart, even after this adventure is over.
“I have never had a problem with the club, and I never will,” he said. “This is a club that we keep in our hearts, and we will keep it there when this adventure is over.”
