Iran Press/ Europe: "Real Madrid and Carlo Ancelotti have reached agreement on the extension of his contract till June 30, 2026," Real said in a statement.
It had been reported in July this year that 64-year-old Ancelotti would become the first foreigner to coach Brazil in almost 60 years once he saw out his present Real contract next year.
The Brazil Football Confederation had named Fernando Diniz the temporary manager before they anticipated Ancelotti taking control for the 2024 Copa America.
However, under Diniz Brazil's woes on the pitch have continued and the team currently occupies the sixth and final regional qualifying spot for the 2026 World Cup.
Ednaldo Rodriguez, the then president of the CBF, held months of negotiations with Ancelotti, who had previously stated the Real job would be his last in football.
Ancelotti is regarded as one of the greatest coaches of all time.
He has won the Champions League four times -- twice with AC Milan and twice with Real Madrid.
Ancelotti has won domestic league titles with Real and Milan, in England with Chelsea, in Germany with Bayern Munich and in France with Paris Saint-Germain.
