Carlo Ancelotti’s future has been up for the debate. The Real Madrid manager has a contract until 2026 but recent reports suggested he could leave the club after the ongoing season.

Jurgen Klopp has been linked with the coveted Real Madrid job. Klopp left Liverpool last season and went on to join Red Bull as their Global Head of Soccer.
As per a UOL report, the German is worn out in his job and will only leave for either Real Madrid or Brazil. Klopp led Liverpool to their sixth Champions League and 1st Premier League title during his nine-year stay.
The CBF is on a coach hunting spree following the departure of Dorival Junior. He was relieved of his duties following Brazil’s 4-1 drubbing at the hands of archrivals Argentina in the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers. Ancelotti has also been linked with the Brazil job
But he had also spoken of his intention of honouring his Madrid contract but rumours have been rife following Los Blancos’ back to back defeats to Valencia and Arsenal. The Spanish giants went back to winning ways against Alaves in the La Liga but the Spanish manager’s future remains a concern.
Arne Slot replaced Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool and the Dutch man could lead Liverpool to their 2nd EPL and 20th league title. They crashed out of the Champions League and FA Cup and lost to Newcastle United in the League Cup final.
