Madrid or Maracanã? The uncertain future of Carlo Ancelotti amid continuous Brazil links

Carlo Ancelotti remains focused on silverware with Real Madrid - but could the Brazilian national team soon come calling for the Italian maestro?

With silverware still on the table, Ancelotti remains calm amid growing speculation about his future.

As Real Madrid prepare for a potentially defining few months, the future of Carlo Ancelotti once again hangs in the balance - not in the form of an ultimatum, but as part of a delicate dance between legacy, ambition, and timing. The Italian tactician, who has already secured his place in Madrid folklore, now finds himself at the centre of renewed interest from the Brazilian national team.

With La Liga, the Champions League, and the newly revamped FIFA Club World Cup all still to play for, Ancelotti could be heading for a summer of both celebration and introspection.
