Real Madrid gave Ancelotti a new contract until 2026. This means that Real Madrid still really needs Ancelotti's manpower. This means that the speculation regarding Ancelotti and Brazil is over. But I can't know if this is Madrid's move to keep getting money if they leave. Ancelotti has thanked the president of Brazilian football for being interested in using his services. It seems that Ancelotti in these words slightly indicates that he will honor the contract from Real Madrid.
Madrid announced Ancelotti's new deal through June 2026 on Friday, after repeated speculation linking him with the Brazil national team.

But this is bad news for the Brazilian national team, which was rumored to be coached by Ancelotti after his contract expired this season. But it turns out that Real Madrid really doesn't want to let go of their best coach. And this is understandable. Because I think Ancelotti is really needed there.
And currently Ancelotti can actually be said to be the best coach in the world along with Pep Guardiola. So it is very natural that a club will have great difficulties when a good coach like Ancelotti leaves behind. So maintaining it will definitely be a priority. But the steps taken by Real Madrid are always quiet. Because previously there were no rumors indicating that Real Madrid would extend Ancelotti's contract.
It looks like the Brazilian national team will still wait until Ancelotti's contract ends in 2026 and they certainly hope that the Italian tactician will want to manage the Brazilian national team in the future. Ancelotti is very familiar with his players and they feel comfortable under the direction of this experienced senior coach. Real Madrid still wants to win another title with Ancelotti and that is why management decided to extend his contract.
Each team management certainly wants the best for the continuation of their team's performance in each season and as much as possible to retain coaches who they feel can continue to improve the quality of the team. It is true that usually for other teams, information on rumors or whatever is always leaked to the media and this time Real Madrid is very secretive about Ancelotti's contract extension, giving rise to very surprising news, especially before Xabi Alonso was predicted to be the next coach if Ancelotti left.
