“Real Madrid would have sacked Ancelotti if it weren’t for the Champions League”
Ronaldo’s revelation ‘Phenomenon’. Italian was a possibility for the Brazilian national team, but remained at ‘merengues’
Real Madrid ‘s triumph in last season’s UEFA Champions League is the reason why Carlo Ancelotti is not in charge of the Brazilian national team at the moment. Ronaldo Fenómeno is the one who is defending him . The Brazilian made great efforts to convince the Italian coach, who ended up staying at the Bernabéu.
On December 29, 2023, Ancelotti renewed his contract with Los Merengues until the summer of 2026.
Now, Ronaldo remembered that he was part of the team that negotiated with Ancelotti.
“We had talks, but everything stalled after Real Madrid refused to release him. He won the UEFA Champions League in 2023/24. If he hadn’t won the trophy, Real would have fired Ancelotti. So he stayed for another year,” he revealed, speaking to Charla Podcast .
The current Brazil coach is Dorival Júnior.
