Carlo Ancelotti’s future remains a matter of debate, with another Saudi club now interested in him.
It is currently certain that the Italian is on his way to leaving Real Madrid at the end of this season, barring a miracle, with reports suggesting he will take over as coach of the Brazilian national team.
In recent days, Spanish media reported that Ancelotti received a lucrative offer from Al Hilal to lead the Blue Wave next season, worth €50 million per year.
Al Hilal is in the process of sacking Jorge Jesus due to poor results, making the desire to sign Ancelotti logical.
However, former Al Shabab player Ahmed Otayf claimed that Al Ittihad is also interested in signing Ancelotti, and the secret behind this lies in Karim Benzema.
The French star trained under Ancelotti for years and recommended him to the club’s management – according to Otayf – and there are attempts to sign the coach.
Curiously, this news comes amidst the unprecedented success of current Al-Ittihad coach Laurent Blanc, who will face Al-Qadisiyah in the King’s Cup final and is on the verge of winning the Saudi League title.
