Carlo Ancelotti was widely expected to become the next manager of the Brazilian national team, marking a historic appointment as their first foreign coach.
But in a dramatic turn of events, that move has collapsed, and a huge offer from Saudi Arabia might be the reason behind it.
According to sources, Ancelotti’s verbal agreement with the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has fallen apart at the last minute, despite talks reaching the final stage in a London meeting.
The agreement, which had been in the works for months, appeared close to completion before a sudden change threw everything off course.
While it seemed Ancelotti was ready to make the jump to international football, reports from MARCA now suggest that there is already a lucrative deal from Saudi Arabia on the table for the Italian manager.

According to the outlet, the figures being discussed are staggering—around €50 million net per season. That kind of money is hard to turn down, especially at this stage of his career.
Although Ancelotti is still expected to leave Real Madrid at the end of the season, the collapse of the Brazil deal leaves his future wide open.
The Saudi Pro League has already attracted top managers and players in recent months, and the addition of a coach like Ancelotti would be another big statement.
This unexpected development has raised serious questions about Ancelotti’s next move. With his time at Real Madrid coming to an end and Brazil no longer an option, all signs now point towards a new chapter in Saudi Arabia.
Nothing is confirmed yet, but with that kind of financial offer on the table, the decision might already be made.
The story is far from over, but one thing is clear: Ancelotti’s future is set to be just as high-profile as his past.
