The 3-2 defeat in extra time in the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona could go down in history as Carlo Ancelotti’s last match on the Real Madrid bench. Following the UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup victories, the defeat in Seville marks the second missed target of the season, with the Italian coach’s fate seemingly sealed already after the Champions League elimination against Arsenal. Ancelotti's future seems to be related to the Brazilian national team. In the stands of the Seville stadium on Saturday evening, Diego Fernandes, the emissary of the Brazilian Football Federation and direct interlocutor of Ancelotti in recent months, was present. According to Relevo.com, the meeting between the parties was favorable, and the agreement may be finalized in the following days. Brazil’s goal is clear: to have Ancelotti on the bench before the Club World Cup, where Real Madrid will play starting June 14. Florentino Perez, who was initially inclined towards an immediate dismissal in the event of a Copa defeat, has reportedly decided to continue with Ancelotti at least until the end of La Liga. However, it is uncertain whether the Madrid president will be prepared to release him in time for Brazil, giving up his technical leadership right before such an important tournament. "I can continue or stop, we will talk about it in the coming weeks", Ancelotti said after the game. For him, the green-and-gold would be his first experience on a national team, a new and exciting challenge with the goal of returning Brazil to the top of world soccer.
