Carlo Ancelotti may have made a crucial decision about his future: to lead the Brazil national team after finishing his time at Real Madrid. Even though his contract with the Merengue club runs until 2026, the Italian coach would be willing to expedite his departure if he fails to overcome FC Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final. Thus, the outcome of the cup Clásico could mark the definitive farewell of one of the most decorated coaches in Madrid's history.

With the recent elimination from the Champions League and the outcome of LaLiga still in dispute, the coach is living his final chapters at the Bernabéu. In Brazil, the anticipation of having Ancelotti at the 2026 World Cup has been increasing. So much so that the Brazilian Football Confederation has postponed hiring a new coach awaiting to finalize the agreement with the Reggiolo-born coach.

The possibility of Ancelotti taking the helm of the Canarinha earlier than expected is not ruled out. Brazil dreams of having him for upcoming international commitments and envisions him leading the World Cup project as early as this year. According to Brazilian media, the idea would be for him to bid farewell to Real Madrid after the Club World Cup, if time allows.

At Real Madrid, there is already talk of an imminent meeting between the coach and the board to define the terms of his departure. Although his legacy in Madrid is assured, everything points to the epilogue arriving before the natural end of his contract. The final against Barça, beyond a title, could be Ancelotti's last dance dressed in white.
