According to Marca, Ancelotti returned to the Real Madrid training base and stated in an interview that he has transitioned from a coach to a Real Madrid fan, watching every Real Madrid match on TV.

The Italian coach, currently in charge of the Brazilian national team, returned to Real Madrid City and gave an exclusive interview to Real Madrid TV. As the most successful coach in the club's history, Ancelotti explained the dual purpose of his return to Valdebebas. "I am here in two capacities: as the coach of the Brazilian national team, and for a personal visit. I wanted to come back and see this place where I spent a long time, and also visit a few Brazilian players who are recovering." He mentioned Endrick, Rodrygo, and Militão, "It was a wonderful morning."

Ancelotti also spoke about his good relationship with current Real Madrid coach Mourinho. "Our relationship has always been good and has lasted for a long time. We exchange ideas, send messages... I'm happy he's here," he said. "He can make good use of this great club, and he knows it very well. He will definitely do very well. José is an excellent coach, and I believe he will achieve outstanding results at Real Madrid."

When asked about Real Madrid's start to the La Liga season and the beginning of the Mourinho era, Ancelotti expressed optimism. "The start has been very good. The first match was a bit difficult, but the team gradually played better, and the performance against Real Sociedad was excellent," he commented. "Now the important matches are starting: the league, against Betis, the Champions League... I think the team is very well prepared, and the new signings will be a great help. Real Madrid will have a great season."

When asked about the significance of Real Madrid in his life, Ancelotti did not hide his emotions. "Real Madrid is home, family, everything. I was very happy here and have wonderful memories," he admitted. "I went from being a coach to a Real Madrid fan, and one of the biggest fans. Whenever Real Madrid plays, I'm in front of the TV."

Finally, Ancelotti spoke about the future of the Brazilian team after the World Cup, focusing on the generational transition. "A group of great players has ended their era, and a new cycle must begin," he explained. "We are evaluating the situation of young Brazilian players around the world, planning for a new generation, with the goal of having this team enter the 2030 World Cup with ambition and strength. Brazilian players who are now 20 or 21 years old are of a very high standard, and we will make good use of the upcoming friendly matches to get to know them better."
