Fabrizio Romano Confirms Carlo Ancelotti Is Leaving Real Madrid to Join Brazil

Carlo Ancelotti is the most successful manager in Real Madrid history. He has won 15 trophies while in charge of Los Blancos, including three UEFA Champions League titles. Ancelotti's first stint in charge was between 2013 and 2015 and his second started in 2021.

The Italian, however, is set to leave the club for a second time at the end of the campaign and Xabi Alonso will reportedly replace him at the helm. Ancelotti will go on to become the Brazil manager, as per widespread reports.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has now provided his valuable update on the negotiations between Ancelotti and Real Madrid. He wrote on X (formerly Twitter):

Carlo Ancelotti and Real Madrid will part ways with formal exit steps to follow after El Clásico. It’s over.

No issues on extra-season salary as Ancelotti never created any problems on that.

The Italian coach will get a huge farewell as legend and then… Xabi Alonso, in.
