Ancelotti was speaking after leading Real Madrid to the FIFA Club World Cup title in Morocco, where the Spanish champions defeated Al-Hilal 5-3 on Saturday night.

Brazil dismiss 'unfounded' Ancelotti rumours

Meanwhile, Brazil has dismissed rumours that Real Madrid's Ancelotti has agreed to become their next manager as unfounded, the BBC reports.

The South American nation are presently in search of a new manager and have been linked with several top-flight managers by Brazilian media.

Among managers linked to the vacant post are Luis Enrique, Pep Guardiola of Manchester City, Zinedine Zidane and Jose Mourinho of AS Roma.

Madrid losing faith in Ancelotti?

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Ancelotti’s second stint as manager of Real Madrid could be coming to an end soon, if the club's form is not turned around.

The Spanish giants have suffered a dip in form since after the World Cup, dropping to eight points behind Barcelona in the race for the La Liga title this season.

While Ancelotti may have staved off the immediate risk of sacking after winning the FIFA Club World Cup, Real Madrid's chiefs will still be watching closely.
