Ancelotti is leaving Madrid to take over as Brazil head coach after a turbulent season on and off the pitch. Here's how it all unfolded

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.
