Characteristically, "globo" reports that after the two meetings that the Italian coach and Rodriguez had in Spain last week, there is an agreement and emphasizes: "Legally, he cannot sign any contract until January (six months before it expires his contract with Real Madrid). But the federation has guarantees that he will be the new coach of Brazil. One of them is that Ancelotti will nominate someone from Europe to handle the transition to the national team until his arrival. He will share the task with Ramon Menezes, who will be responsible for the players playing in Brazil."

Real Madrid, for its part, is said to be already aware of all the developments, but neither the Brazilian federation nor the Spanish club will announce anything until January.

"Until then we will only have behind-the-scenes information", it is emphasized. The initial idea was that Carlo's son Davide Ancelotti, his assistant at Real, could take over before him, but it was rejected as it would send the message that the experienced coach will not have Real Madrid on his mind this season . So he will come with his father.

In January, Ancelotti will inform Madrid in writing that he is not interested in the renewal clause in his contract. Therefore, then the relevant announcements are also expected.
