EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Italian tactician is facing increasing pressure at the Santiago Bernabéu following a string of disappointing results. The situation worsened after Real Madrid suffered a shocking UEFA Champions League elimination to Arsenal and a painful Copa del Rey final loss to bitter rivals Barcelona.

The club is also trailing behind Barcelona in the La Liga title race, adding to the strain on Ancelotti’s position.

In recent days, reports circulated that Ancelotti had verbally agreed to lead Brazil’s national team as they begin early preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. However, according to renowned football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid is now actively blocking the proposed move.

Romano disclosed via social media platform X that “Real Madrid are currently blocking Carlo Ancelotti’s move to the Brazilian national team,” stating that a verbal agreement had been in place for at least 48 hours. Sources suggest Brazil was expecting the agreement to be formalized, but Real Madrid officials were allegedly not briefed about the development in advance.

The club’s primary reason for halting the switch reportedly centers on avoiding any complications or compensation fees that may arise from Ancelotti exiting his current contract prematurely.

Ancelotti, now in his second spell at Real Madrid after rejoining the club in 2021, has built an exceptional managerial legacy. Across both tenures, he has lifted 15 major trophies, including three UEFA Champions League titles. Despite his pedigree, the ongoing campaign has produced limited silverware, with the UEFA Super Cup being the only trophy won so far.
