Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has addressed speculation about his future amid reports linking him with the Brazil national team job.
The veteran Italian was repeatedly asked about the rumours during a pre-match press conference on Saturday, but remained tight-lipped about any potential departure.
“At the end of the season, we will speak about this with the club,” Ancelotti said more than once, refusing to be drawn into further discussion.

Ancelotti, 65, is under contract with Real Madrid until June 2026, but speculation has intensified following Los Blancos’ exit from the Champions League on Tuesday night.
Despite the European disappointment, Madrid remain in contention on multiple fronts. The club is chasing the La Liga title and currently sit second behind Barcelona, and is set to compete in the Club World Cup this summer. They host fourth-place Athletic Bilbao on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Brazil continues to search for a high-profile coach ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with Ancelotti long rumoured to be their top target. The Seleção recently parted ways with coach Dorival Júnior.
Ancelotti holds a distinguished coaching record, having won the UEFA Champions League five times: three with Real Madrid (2014, 2022, 2024) and twice with AC Milan (2003, 2007). He is also the only manager to have won domestic league titles in Spain, England, Italy, Germany, and France.
