Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid exit: Why the end should not define the era

On Monday, the Brazilian FA (CBF) confirmed the appointment of Carlo Ancelotti as the national team’s new head coach, signalling an end to his second stint as Real Madrid manager. It is a move that ultimately suits all parties. Brazil get one of the game’s most successful coaches, Ancelotti gets to try his hand at international management, and Real Madrid can bid farewell without having to push one of their best managers out the door.
