Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed the Brazil national team want to appoint him as coach but reiterated his desire to stay at Real Madrid.

Brazil have been without a manager since Tite left after the World Cup and various reports claim Ancelotti is their top target.

Madrid forward Vinicius recently said he "believes" his club coach wants to take the Selecao job and Ancelotti is flattered by the interest.

"The reality is that the Brazilian national team wants me; I love that, it's exciting," Ancelotti told a news conference before Madrid's game against Real Valladolid.
