Athletic Report: Ancelotti persuaded by his wife to leave the Brazilian national team

According to A Bola, Ancelotti's wife is urging him to leave the Brazilian national team.

The Brazilian Football Confederation has ruled out sacking Carlo Ancelotti following Brazil's Round of 16 defeat to Norway in the World Cup and will continue to support the coach in preparations for 2030. Ancelotti's contract was renewed before the start of the World Cups in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

However, after Brazil's elimination, Ancelotti faced a lot of criticism. Former player Vampeta revealed an important behind-the-scenes story. He said he heard from RedeTV host João Kleber that Ancelotti's wife was trying to persuade him to leave the Brazilian national team.

Wanpetta told RedNews: "João Kleber revealed yesterday that Ancelotti's wife wants him to leave the national team. He's getting old and can enjoy life. I was a guest when João Kleber said this."

Ancelotti is currently vacationing in Canada. Wanpeta added, "I joked that we should wait for Mourinho to get beaten up a few times over there. If his wife can't convince him, then wait for Mourinho and Vinicius Junior to have a fight; he's bound to clash with someone. Ancelotti is willing to go to Real Madrid; he's already made enough money, a little more and he could bring Guardiola."

It's worth noting that, as of now, neither the Brazilian Football Confederation nor Ancelotti himself has responded to the information revealed by Vampeta. After Brazil's elimination from the World Cup, Ancelotti went on vacation to Canada.

This week, following the team's World Cup defeat, Brazilian Football Confederation (CF) president Samir Saud convened a meeting at the CF headquarters in Rio de Janeiro and set goals: to win the Copa America and finish first in the World Cup qualifiers. Carlo Ancelotti did not attend this meeting with the management.

The Brazilian national team is expected to undergo significant changes in preparation for 2030. Neymar will not participate in the next cycle, and the team's first match after their defeat to Norway will be against Australia in Townsville on September 25.
