90min has learned that Brazil will have to wait until the end of the season before Real Madrid makes a final choice regarding the future of manager Carlo Ancelotti.
The South American behemoths have made no secret of their intention to bring Ancelotti aboard, and the Brazilian Football Federation's (CBF) head recently reiterated his willingness to do so.
Ancelotti has continually batted down the rumors, saying most recently that he would be content to remain with Real for the rest of his career.
Brazil is adamant about getting Ancelotti, but they won't know for sure if he will be available to hire until the end of the current campaign.
Ancelotti's future at Real has not yet been officially decided, according to sources, and the club is eager to consider everything, including his performances in La Liga and the Champions League, before making a final choice.
Despite the fact that the team's performance in La Liga this season has fallen short of expectations, club president Florentino Perez is known to be a huge supporter of Ancelotti and does not want to split company with the Italian. Real are 12 points off the pace set by Barcelona, and Xavi's team has won three of the four Clasicos this season.
The club's Champions League campaign will come to a conclusion at the end of the season, after which Ancelotti's future will be decided. Although it hasn't been formally said, leaving the Santiago Bernabeu is by no means likely.
It is rumored that Ancelotti himself has been keeping an eye on the Canada national team job as he considers retiring in the country of Mariann Barrena McClay, a native of Vancouver. It is unclear, however, whether Ancelotti would be interested in moving to another country.
Brazil will keep pursuing Ancelotti, and CBF President Ednaldo Rodrigues recently reaffirmed that the Selecao hoped to be able to reveal their new manager in May.
We are patient enough to wait for the ideal moment to conduct these chats, he added.
"The identity of the upcoming coach has not yet been determined with adequate precision, but it is in a similar vein. We require a coach who is well-liked by the players."
