Meanwhile, Manchester City goalkeeper, Ederson also believes Ancelotti will most likely be named as the next Brazil coach, Daily Mail reports.

The shot-stopper urged Brazil's FA to seal the move after revealing he had spoken to national teammates, Casemiro, Eder Militao, and Vin Junior.

All three of these stars have worked under Ancelotti at Real Madrid but the Italian manager has never managed at the international level.

Real Madrid shortlist Ancelotti’s replacement

Sports Brief also reported on Real Madrid beginning the search for Ancelotti’s replacement as Real Madrid manager, following the club’s recent slump in form under the veteran Italian.

Club president, Florentino Perez is leaving no stone unturned as he tries to arrest Los Blancos' poor run of results and will reportedly not mind a change in coaching if it is seen as needed.

It was reported Real Madrid have since shortlisted Castilla coach, Raul Gonzalez and former Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel as Ancelotti’s potential replacements in the club's hot seat.
