Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has dismissed claims that there is a deadline for him to decide if he is to become the new manager of Brazil.

Tite left his position following Brazil's elimination at the quarter-finals stage of the World Cup in Qatar, with Ramon Menezes placed in interim charge.

Ancelotti has been heavily linked with the job but has indicated that he will remain at Real at least until his contract expires in 2024.

There have been suggestions that there is a deadline of May 25 for a decision to be made on the next Brazil manager ahead of an international window in June.

However, Ancelotti has insisted that he hasn't had contact with anybody regarding the job. 

Carlo Ancelotti says there isn't a deadline for him to decide whether to be Brazil manager

Ancelotti said: 'I've already said that I'm not talking about my future. But, I'll answer: the deadline is nonsense. There is no deadline because I never... I haven't talked to anyone.'

Ancelotti previously stated that he was excited by interest from Brazil.

'No (I don't plan to retire). Let's see,' said Ancelotti.

'I am very excited that Brazil wants me, but I have to respect the contract with Madrid, which I want to fulfil.

CBF President Ednaldo Rodrigues recently stated that Ancelotti is the favourite of both the players and the fans.

He said: 'Ancelotti is unanimously respected among the players. Not only Ronaldo Nazario or Vinicius Jr, but everyone who has played for him.

'I really admire him for his honesty in the way he works and how constant his work is. He needs no introduction. He really is a top coach who has several achievements and we hope he can have even more. Ancelotti is not only the players' favourite, but he also seems to be the fans' favourite.'

Real Madrid players Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo and Eder Militao were all named in the most recent Brazil squad.

Ancelotti's only previous experience of international coaching came when he was the assistant manager of his native Italy from 1992-1995. 

During a lengthy coaching career he has had spells in charge of many major clubs including Juventus, AC Milan, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich.

Ancelotti is currently in his second spell in charge of Real, having previously coached the club between 2013 and 2015.

He is the most decorated manager in Champions League history having won the competition on four occasions - twice with AC Milan and twice with Real Madrid.
