MADRID, April 1 — Carlo Ancelotti confirmed the interest of the Brazilian national team in hiring him and his excitement at the prospect, but said today he wanted to fulfil his contract with Real Madrid.

Ancelotti’s contract with Real Madrid ends in June 2024 and the veteran Italian, 63, says he will respect his deal with the Spanish champions.
“Yes, the reality is that the Brazilian national team want me, I love that and it excites me,” Ancelotti told a news conference.Ancelotti said he is happy at Real Madrid in his second spell at the club, but that nobody knows what could happen in the future.“In my case, it’s quite simple. I have a contract and I want to see it out, because I like Real Madrid, I like this club and anything that can happen after that is in the future, and nobody knows the future.
