Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti is expected to leave the club after the Copa del Rey final on April 26, Sky Sports News understands.
Ancelotti cast doubt over his future as Real head coach after Wednesday’s Champions League quarter-final defeat to Arsenal, which saw his team lose 2-1 at home and 5-1 on aggregate.
It is understood the 65-year-old will remain in place until the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona in Seville, but is expected to depart the club after that game.
Real and Barcelona are fighting it out for the domestic double, with Ancelotti’s side sitting four points behind Barca in the league with seven games to play.
The pair meet in El Clasico on May 11, but the Italian is not expected to be in charge for the game in Barcelona.
Brazil want to appoint the ex-Everton boss as their new head coach, and he could be installed in the role before the end of the Spanish domestic campaign.
