Failed at Real Madrid, Ancelotti to Coach Brazil

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has agreed to become the new head coach of Brazil’s national team at the end of the season. The 65-year-old will depart from Real Madrid on May 26 to take up his new role, following a season without major titles at Bernabeu. 

  In a statement, the Brazilian FA (CBF) noted the “significant moment of the collaboration between two prominent figures,” referencing their five World Cup victories and Ancelotti’s notable achievements in European football. The international team is seeking their fifth head coach in two-and-a-half years following the dismissal of Dorival Junior at the end of March. 

Ancelotti, taking on his first international role, will lead Brazil as a highly decorated club manager and the only coach to win each of Europe’s top five leagues. 

He will leave the Bernabeu the day after their final LaLiga game against Real Sociedad. 

Since rejoining Real Madrid in 2021, Ancelotti has secured two LaLiga and Champions League doubles. However, after Sunday’s El Clasico loss to Barcelona, it appears unlikely he will win any trophies this season.

What They Never Told You: Ayatollah Khomeini Was a Great Jurist, Not a Fanatic

The West gave Iran a name — theocracy — and buried the reality beneath it. They never told you that Khomeini spent decades mastering one of the most rigorous legal traditions in human history, or that he built a constitutional republic ratified by 98 percent of the Iranian people in a free referendum. A nation of fanatics can be bombed with a clear conscience. A constitutional republic of 93 million people, founded by a supremely gifted jurist, is harder to dispose of.

‘We Won’t Be Silenced’: ADC Rejects Court-Ordered Deregistration

Abdullahi said: We did not expect the level of judicial rascality that was demonstrated. When a Court of Appeal says stay proceedings until October 27 and a lower court goes ahead to deliver judgment on the same matter, it is bizarre and dangerous."

Sheikh Gumi and the Case for Dialogue

It is against this background that I offer my views on the issues of banditry and kidnappings, particularly in northern Nigeria. My perspective is informed by knowledge acquired during my graduate studies at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University, in the United States. Two courses, in particular, shaped my understanding of conflicts and their resolution. The first was International Security Studies, taught by Professor Richard Shultz, a consultant to the Pentagon. The second was International Negotiation, taught by Professor Diana Chigas, a member of the team that helped negotiate the end of apartheid in South Africa.

June 12: Democracy’s Sacred Mandate and Nigeria’s Unfinished Journey

Democracy has delivered some notable gains. The country has witnessed peaceful transfers of power, expanded political participation, a more vibrant media landscape, and greater civic engagement. These achievements should not be dismissed. They are evidence that democratic governance, despite its imperfections, remains preferable to military rule. However, democracy cannot survive on political rituals alone. For millions of Nigerians battling insecurity, unemployment, poverty, inflation, and inadequate infrastructure, democracy must mean more than periodic elections.

Sheikh Gumi: An Asset Nigeria Should Not Ignore

For many years, Gumi has attracted criticism because of his contacts with bandits. Some commentators have accused him of being too sympathetic to them. Others have questioned why he meets with them in their forest hideouts. But instead of seeing him as part of the problem, Nigerians should ask whether he can be part of the solution.
