Ancelotti is said to have informed important figures within the team about his decision to depart.
Despite guiding the squad to a Champions League victory of late, they faced an exit at the hands of Arsenal earlier this month.
He now seems poised to take on international management for the first time.
Reports indicate that Ancelotti has reached a preliminary deal with Brazil to take over as head coach for the 2026 World Cup.
Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano mentions that the contract will be “effective from June, NOT after the Club World Cup.”
This allows for a “friendly separation” between Madrid and Ancelotti after a four-year collaboration.
Brazil is recognized as the most successful nation in World Cup history.
However, they have encountered quarter-final exits in four of the past five tournaments.
