Real Madrid’s Carlo Ancelotti Speaks on Becoming Brazil’s Next Manager

• Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti would be open to becoming Brazil's next manager
• The Selecao are looking to fill their managerial vacancy after the departure of coach Tite
• Brazil were knocked out of the tournament by Croatia after a dramatic penalty shootout

Carlo Ancelotti has no qualms about becoming the next Brazil manager when the 2022/23 season ends, despite his current contract with Real Madrid running until 2024.

Brazil are in search of a new manager following the departure of Tite, who left his post after the South American nation’s heartbreaking World Cup elimination.

The Italian manager, who has won two UEFA Champions League with Real Madrid, has been touted as one of the possible managers to replace Tite.

According to Sportskeeda, Ancelotti wants to see out the current campaign with Los Blancos, but could then accept the Brazil offer in 2023.

The seasoned Italian manager hasn't tried his hand at managing a national team, and perhaps that intrigues him as he nears the end of his career.

Tite resigns as Brazil manager

Meanwhile, after the shockingly unexpected World Cup quarter-final exit, Brazil manager Tite promptly announced his resignation as the team's head coach, Marca reported.

Tite had been the Samba Boys' manager for two different World Cups, and was eliminated twice in the quarter-final stages of football’s biggest competition in 2018 and 2022.

Under his guidance since 2016, the Selecao won the Copa America in 2019.

Tite stepped down from his role, following a shock World Cup quarter-final exit at the hands of Croatia on December 9.

The Vatreni had frustrated the Samba Boys, but Neymar finally broke the deadlock in extra time. With the favourites poised to seal their semi-final spot, Bruno Petkovic scored with three minutes left to force the game to penalties.

Croatia then went on to win in a penalty shootout and break the Brazilians' hearts.
