Carlo Ancelotti unexpectedly went viral on social media as he appeared relaxed at the Rio Carnival, amid ongoing attention on his future with the Brazil national team and rumors linking him to Manchester United.
Former Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti suddenly became the focus of social media when he showed up at the famous Rio de Janeiro Carnival and was spotted in an intimate moment with three women at once.
The 66-year-old Italian manager was announced as the head coach of Brazil last summer and is currently in the process of preparing for the 2026 World Cup. It seems Ancelotti is fully enjoying life in the South American country as he immerses himself in the vibrant atmosphere of the Rio Carnival.
A photo rapidly circulating on social media shows Ancelotti embracing three women who all simultaneously give him kisses. This moment instantly delighted the online community on X, sparking numerous humorous comments. One user wrote: “Don Carlo Ancelotti is living life to the fullest,” while another joked: “Now we know why he moved to Brazil.”
Moreover, many opinions suggest Ancelotti will “never leave Brazil,” despite previous links to the Manchester United hot seat this summer. One humorous account commented: “Carlo Ancelotti’s Valentine’s Day was absolutely perfect.”
However, it is important to highlight that Ancelotti attended the festival with his wife Mariann Barrena McClay. The couple met while he was managing Chelsea in England and have been married since 2014.
As one of the most successful coaches in history with over 30 major trophies, Ancelotti currently seems content with his life and work in Brazil, despite speculation about his future. Manchester United was reportedly very interested in him, especially after dismissing Ruben Amorim and appointing Michael Carrick as interim manager.
However, according to The Athletic, Ancelotti is close to extending his contract with the Brazil national team until 2030. If this deal is signed, he will lead the Selecao through to the end of the 2030 World Cup, a tournament jointly hosted by Spain, Portugal, and Morocco.
Not only Ancelotti, but Manchester United also suffered another setback as their potential target, England coach Thomas Tuchel, has extended his contract with England until 2028.
