Brazil struggled in the Conmebol qualifiers. As a result, the national team hired Carlo Ancelotti as its new World Cup coach. After his arrival, his reported salary quickly sparked reactions on social media.
Real Madrid’s performance has not meet the expectations as they fell in the UEFA Champions League, lost the LaLiga leadership, and missed out on the Copa del Rey title. After these setbacks, Carlo Ancelotti is expected to leave Real Madrid and take over the Brazilian national team as head coach. As a result, his alleged salary has sparked a lot of conversation across social media.
The Brazilian Soccer Confederation (CBF) is preparing a contract worth nearly $900,000 for Carlo Ancelotti, according to Estadao and Marcel Rizzo. This offer matches the salary he currently earns at Real Madrid. If Ancelotti accepts, he will become the highest-paid national team coach in the world. He would surpass Didier Deschamps and Thomas Tuchel, who each earn around $700,000.
According to Rizzo, the CBF expects Ancelotti to accept the offer before May 18. This is the deadline to submit the roster for the upcoming CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers scheduled for June 4 and 9, facing Ecuador and Paraguay respectively. However, the situation is complicated because Real Madrid will face FC Barcelona on May 11, a match could decide the LaLiga title.
Which are Carlo Ancelotti’s next challenges at the helm of the Brazilian national team?
Carlo Ancelotti is set to make history with the Brazilian national team. He would become the third foreign coach to lead the team after 60 years. The last was Argentina’s Filpo Nuñez, who managed only one match in 1965. Therefore, Ancelotti’s appointment would break a long-standing tradition where only Brazilians coached their national team. Moreover, his arrival would come at a critical moment for the Brazilian national team.
Brazil’s national team has struggled in recent months. They have won only two of their last five CONMEBOL qualifying matches. In addition, their style of play has drawn heavy criticism. Many point to a lack of identity and the absence of a true leader. This comes despite having a star-studded squad with players like Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, and Raphinha. However, none of them have managed to take control and lead the team forward.
Real Madrid have reportedly set interim coach for FIFA Club World Cup
With Carlo Ancelotti likely to depart, Real Madrid reportedly have an interim coach in place for the FIFA Club World Cup. According to Mario Cortegana, the club chose Santiago Solari to lead the team as an interim head coach. The Spanish coach previously had a short spell at Madrid during the 2018-19 season. He managed 28 matches, winning 18 games, drawing 2 games, and losing 8 games.
During his time in charge, Solari made important changes to the team’s dynamics. He moved Brazilian legend Marcelo out of the spotlight to give rising star Sergio Reguilon more opportunities. He also placed strong trust in a young Vinicius Jr., supporting him through early struggles and heavy criticism.
Although Solari does not have the strongest résumé for a tournament of this magnitude, he could still offer Real Madrid a steady transition. His appointment could help the club build a more secure foundation for the future.
