Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is expected to become Brazil's coach if he leaves Real Madrid at the end of this season.
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed Brazil are interested in signing him as their new manager, but insists his focus is on Los Blancos.
Ancelotti has long been linked with the Brazilian national team and is expected to become their coach if he leaves Madrid this summer.
That is a real possibility given that the club's chances of winning a major trophy at the end of the season may depend on the Champions League, in which Los Blancos will face a tough semi-final against Manchester City or Bayern Munich if they overcome Chelsea in the last eight.
"The reality is that the Brazilian national team wants me," Ancelotti said in a press conference on Saturday. "I love that, it's exciting.
Madrid forward Vinicius Junior recently said he thought Ancelotti was keen to take the Brazil job, but Ancelotti claims he will stay if he is still wanted at the Santiago Bernabeu.
"Everything is quite clear: I'll stay here as long as Madrid allow me to stay here," he said.
