“From May 26 I will be the coach of Brazil, and it’s a very important challenge. But I want to conclude this last part of this fantastic adventure here well,” Ancelotti said on the eve of Real Madrid’s La Liga match against Mallorca, the first of the last three on the Merengues bench.

“I’m happy, if today there hadn’t been this press conference it would have been fantastic,” he jokes.

“I won’t add anything else out of respect for the Real fans. I’ll always be a fan of this team.”

Ancelotti, the most successful club coach in history, is taking over the five-time world champions after his Real Madrid contract expires.
