CBF president Rodrigues: Florentino must release Ancelotti from Real Madrid contract

Brazilian Football Confederation president Ednaldo Rodrigues has again declared he wants Carlo Ancelotti to take charge of their national team.

Real Madrid coach Ancelotti is the CBF's priority to succeed Tite as the Selecao's next permanent trainer.

Rodrigues said, "I have told Luis Rubiales (RFEF president)), who is a friend of Florentino (Perez, Real Madrid president), to ask him to free Ancelotti.

"All the players who have played under his command miss him and those who have not had him as coach are wishing to have him.

"He is one of the best coaches in the world and could lead one of the best teams in the world, Brazil."
