Carlo Ancelotti has a difficult decision to make come the end of the season when he must choose between Real Madrid and a few managerial job offers, including Manchester United and Brazil’s national team to coach next season.

The Los Blancos boss was asked by a reporter to which his annoyance is visibly noticed by many when he replied with the words “I’ll give you the chance to ask another question”.

Ancelotti was speaking ahead of his team’s Champions League match against Napoli on Wednesday. He refuses to answer any speculation of him being linked to the Brazil coaching job.

“I’ve said it before and I say it again, I am not talking about my future,” he said.

His contract with Real Madrid expires at the end of the current season. While the CBF president Ednaldo Rodrigues, is confident they will get their man, club president Florentino Perez is contemplating offering a contract extension.

Rodrigues has told news reporters in the past that signing Ancelotti would be a “no brainer”. 

The thing that still puzzles me is why would you leave Madrid and swap it with a national team like Brazil? Club football for me is still the way to go and to manage a team that births superstars all the time is a real treat to have.

As for the national team, Brazil are quite formidable, and they sure have quality players. However, the competitions they play in aren’t as appealing as club competitions. Brazil would play in the Copa America in the United States. Not to mention the Fifa World Cup too.
