Real Madrid set to face Brazil in friendly clash after Ancelotti move

After the official announcement that Carlo Ancelotti will coach the Brazilian national team, it is time to scrutinize the agreement between the Italian and the CBF. A contract which, as detailed by ‘O Globo’, includes that Real Madrid and the ‘Selecao’ will play a friendly match.

There is no date or venue defined and the terms will have to be agreed between the ‘Merengue’ board and the South American country's Federation, but it is contemplated that there will be a reunion between Carlo Ancelotti and Real Madrid that will also be historic. The most successful national team and the most successful club on the planet will face each other.

In addition, both teams' rosters include internationals and Brazilians such as Endrick, Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr, in addition to the injured Eder Militao. It remains to be seen whether they will play one half with each team or what the conditions are for this friendly match, which will have a festive atmosphere.

Ancelotti to announce first squad list on May 26th

Aside from this particularity, the Brazilian media outlet reveals more details about the long-awaited signing of ‘Carletto’ by the ‘Selecao’. For the time being, the Italian coach will take charge of Brazil as soon as La Liga comes to an end. He will land in Rio de Janeiro on May 26th and will make his first call-up for the South American qualifiers double-header against Ecuador (June 5th) and Paraguay (June 10th).

Diego Fernandes, a Brazilian businessman and CBF emissary, was in charge of negotiations with Carlo Ancelotti, who has signed until the end of the 2026 World Cup. In other words, he will be in charge for a minimum of 14 months with a gross monthly salary of four million reais.

If we extrapolate the figures we would talk about 48 million reais per year, which in euros is about 7.6 million gross. In the event of winning the sixth star at the World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada in 2026, the man from Reggiolo will receive a bonus of five million euros.

Apartment in Rio and private jet

Various amenities are also included in Ancelotti's contract. The rent of the luxury apartment in Rio de Janeiro where the five-time Champions League winner will live will be paid by the CBF, which will also provide a private jet for him to fly back to Europe when he needs it.

The history between Carlo Ancelotti and Brazil goes back a long way. He already tried in 2023, but then, the Italian renewed with Real Madrid until 2026. After a difficult season, the 'Merengue' club has considered that their relationship could not go beyond this summer and the ‘Selecao’ has taken advantage of the situation to revive their adventure. He will not even wait for the Club World Cup because in June there is work, so in two weeks we will see him posing with the 'Selecao' jersey in his hands.
