JAKARTA - The Brazilian Football Federation (CBF) has denied reaching an agreement with Real Madrid tactician Carlo Ancelotti to take over as coach of the five-time World Cup.
"This information is not true. Questions (about the new coach) are being handled transparently and the selected coach will be announced at the right time," read a federation statement reported by NDTV, Saturday, February 11.
Ancelotti is currently with Los Blancos in Morocco to take part in the Club World Cup. They have advanced to the final and will meet Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal team in the early hours of the morning.
In a press conference on Friday, the 63-year-old Italian coach also did not indicate the deal. He said that he currently only intends to complete his contract with the Spanish giant.
"My situation is quite clear. I have a contract until 2024," said Ancelotti, who returned for a second period with Real at the start of last season.
Brazil is looking for a new coach after Tite stepped down following a quarter-final defeat to Croatia on penalties at Qatar's 2022 World Cup.
Apart from Ancelotti, several names have also begun to be linked with the coach of the Samba team. Among them is former Spanish national team coach Luis Enrique.
In addition, manchester City coach Pep Guardiola, Zinedine Zidane, and AS coach Jose Mourinho, were also linked to continue the Tite relay.
Guardiola himself has recently been getting more and more crisis-related in The Citizen's body. The British giant is currently facing a case of alleged violations of club financial manipulation.
