Italian manager Carlo Ancelotti is rumoured to be leaving Real Madrid at the end of the season to take charge of the Brazilian national team and replace current coach Fernando Diniz.
Ancelotti has already won all the trophies that can be won at club level and could be aiming for another kind of trophy with a national team. Brazil have not won the World Cup since 2002.
As a result, according to 'Sport', the Spanish giants are already thinking about his replacement and are considering Roberto De Zerbi, who coaches Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League, as his replacement.
The same media outlet reports that De Zerbi is well-liked by the Madrid board because he promotes a striking system of play and is committed to young talent. The big problem is that the Italian has a contract until 2026 and Brighton will not make things easy for them.
