AFP: Carlo Ancelotti said on Tuesday he “has no problem” with Real Madrid ahead of his departure from the club at the end of the season to take over the Brazil national team.
The veteran Italian will become Selecao boss on May 26, the day after Madrid’s last La Liga match of the campaign.
The Spanish giants are yet to name a replacement, although Xabi Alonso is a strong favourite to take over after confirming he will leave Bayer Leverkusen.
The Brazilian football federation (CBF) announced Ancelotti’s appointment on Monday, before any official confirmation from Madrid regarding Ancelotti’s departure.
“The CBF issued that statement because I’ll be the coach of Brazil from the 26th. Madrid will issue a statement whenever they want, there is no problem,” Ancelotti told reporters on the eve of his team’s match against Real Mallorca.
Ancelotti, who has won 15 trophies including three Champions League titles across two spells at the Santiago Bernabeu, has endured a difficult final season in charge.
Barca would secure the title if Madrid fail to defeat Mallorca on Wednesday.
