Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has played down speculation that he could leave Real Madrid to take charge of Brazil's national team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 63-year-old has 18 months left on his contract and he insisted that he has no intention to depart earlier.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I don't know what the future holds for me. For now, things are going well at Madrid," Ancelotti told Italy's Rai Radio on Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"We have many goals to achieve this season. There will be time to think about my future. I have a contract until June 30, 2024, and, if Real Madrid don't kick me out before then, I won't move."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The position of Brazil's head coach became vacant earlier this month when Tite stepped down following the team's World Cup quarterfinal defeat to Croatia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Ancelotti has been touted as a possible replacement, along with Jose Mourinho, Thomas Tuchel and Abel Ferreira, reports Xinhua.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Italian also praised Lionel Messi and his Argentina side for their penalty shootout victory over France in the World Cup final on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"It has been a beautiful World Cup that ended with a beautiful final and was deservedly won by Argentina," Ancelotti said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
