Carlo Ancelotti has surprised everyone by putting the brakes on his expected landing with the Brazilian national team at the last moment. Although everything pointed to him signing with the CBF in the next few hours, the Italian coach has taken a step back after receiving a staggering offer from Saudi Arabia, as reported by Marca newspaper. The proposal, rumored to be around 50 million euros net per season, has completely changed the landscape and has been crucial for Carletto to reconsider his immediate future.

Real Madrid's coach had traveled to London to finalize details with the Brazilian representatives, and it was expected that he would seal his commitment with the 'Canarinha' this same Tuesday. However, Ancelotti personally contacted the president of the Brazilian Football Confederation, Ednaldo Rodrigues, to inform him that he will not assume the position. Despite a contract being drafted and it seeming a matter of hours, the coach has preferred not to take the step, completely disorienting the South American leadership.

Saudi Arabia's Offer for Carlo Ancelotti

In Brazil, it was taken for granted that the agreement with Madrid for his departure was settled, but the reality is that there was still no consensus on the economic conditions. Real Madrid, which still has Ancelotti until 2025, does not view paying any compensation favorably. In fact, they expected the coach himself to renounce the remaining year.

The unexpected turn of events has revived Madrid's plans, where Santiago Solari was already being discussed as a bridge and Xabi Alonso as a future coach. But now, with Ancelotti tempted by Saudi riches and still not disengaged, the future of the white team's bench and the Italian coach is once again uncertain. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia waits with open arms.
