It’s done: Carlo Ancelotti will take charge of the Brazilian national team. After weeks of intense negotiations, the Brazilian Football Federation officially announced the Italian legend’s appointment on Monday.
The most decorated coach in football history will lead the Seleção until the 2026 World Cup, with his debut set for the June qualifiers against Ecuador (June 6) and Paraguay (June 11).
In a bold statement, the CBF declared: “Bringing Carlo Ancelotti to lead Brazil is more than a strategic move. It’s a message to the world: we want to return to the top step of the podium.”
Eyes on 2026 Glory
Ancelotti is set to leave Real Madrid on May 26, right after the final La Liga matchday, with Xabi Alonso expected to succeed him, per The Athletic and Fabrizio Romano. The Italian manager has reportedly already finalized his staff for the journey ahead.
Objective: restore Brazil’s global dominance—with the World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico firmly in sight.
