Ancelotti has been linked with taking the vacant Brazil national team job

Real Madrid manager, Carlo Ancelotti has chosen to keep his cards close to his chest with speculation about his future ahead of their Champions League semi-final first leg clash with Manchester City.

Ancelotti has been linked with the Brazilian national team job ever since Tite resigned from the seat following Brazil’s world cup quarter final exit at the hands of Croatia.

Further reports according to Le’ quipe suggest that club president Fiorentino Perez will sack the Italian manager unless he delivers the cup double of the Champions League and the Copa Del Rey.

“There is fake news on deadline for me to accept or reject the job as new Brazil national team head coach, I never spoke to them,” Ancelotti said, “I don’t speak about my future, I always said that,” he added.

Ancelotti won the La Liga title last season with a dominant lead over Barcelona while simultaneously taking down the best teams in the world in the UEFA Champions League. The season ended with them lifting the coveted European silverware too, giving Ancelotti a claim as the best coach in the world.

This season though, things haven't gone to plan for the Real Madrid tactician in the league. The club are losing faith in him and he is at risk of losing his job if he does not lift both the Champions League and the Copa Del Rey this season.

The developments show that in the world of football, and especially Real Madrid, only the present matters. Despite his successes last season, Ancelotti now stares his uncertain future in the eye following the team’s subpar run of recent form.
