Coach Carlo Ancelotti will leave Real Madrid and take over Brazil through the 2026 World Cup. The Italian — Brazil's first full-time foreign coach in a century — will officially take charge on May 25 after La Liga ends, the Brazilian Football Confederation said on Monday. Details of the deal were not released.

Jude Bellingham is without a doubt the best signing of Ancelotti's second stint at Real Madrid. The 21-year-old joined the club from Borussia Dortmund ahead of the 2023–24 season and produced one of the best overall debut seasons in the history of the club.

Carlo Ancelotti has been appointed as head coach of the Brazil national team and will start work on May 26. The 65-year-old will leave Real Madrid after their final game of the La Liga season against Real Sociedad.
