Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti next coach of Brazil
Carlo Ancelotti and Real Madrid will say goodbye for the second time. But perhaps in 12 months and not immediately, let’s go in order. In Brazil they have no doubts: the Italian coach will be the new technical commissioner of the Seleçao taking the baton from the interim coach Ramon Menezes who is leading the post-divorce national team with Tite (who had announced his farewell for some time and kept his promise after the elimination in the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Qatar against Croatia). According to what filters from South America, Ednaldo Rodrigues, number one of the Brazilian football federation should make the announcement by the end of June, theoretically Carletto will take the lead of the Seleçao from June 2024 (the mission however is clear: to win the 2026 World Cup which will be played between the United States, Mexico and Canada) even if someone hypothesizes from January (double role for six months?).

Can he really bear the costs of a coup from a thousand and one nights in the summer (with an annexed princely signing) after having already concluded the€100m signing of midfielder Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund?
Real Madrid sign Joselu after Benzema’s farewell
Meanwhile Real Madrid, after saying goodbye to Karim Benzema (14 seasons in the merengue shirt) who signed a dream contract at Al-Ittihad, announces theJoselu’s signing as new striker. But the 33-year-old Spanish national team player and now ex Espanyol looks like a side shot. Will Mbappè be Benzema’s heir? Kylian must be remembered that, beyond the difficult operation to bring him in immediately, despite being a total player in attack he seems more like a second striker. This is why heavy names continue to circulate in Madrid (Kane in primis, then Osimhen, Lukaku and Havertz), but also them from the cost of the tag no less important ….
