“Ancelotti was upset… and threatened to reject their offer once and for all if rumours had not stopped,” Gazzetta reported.
Carlo Ancelotti reportedly threatened to pull out of Brazil coaching talks after becoming upset by leaked information, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Italian coach was on the verge of signing with Brazil when inaccurate details were allegedly shared by Brazilian representatives with the media. “Ancelotti was upset… and threatened to reject their offer once and for all if rumours had not stopped,” Gazzetta reported.
With a year left on his Real Madrid contract, Ancelotti aimed to avoid an awkward situation and held discussions this week with President Florentino Perez to clarify his position. While reports suggest Madrid are planning a managerial change this summer, Ancelotti’s current deal runs until June 2026 and no exit terms have been finalized.
According to Gazzetta and Fabrizio Romano, Brazil remains a possible destination, but Ancelotti is reluctant to assume the role ahead of June qualifiers. He is expected to address the media before Madrid’s clash with Celta Vigo on Saturday.
