Ancelotti agrees to lead Brazil team

Ancelotti promises to bring a new breeze to "Selecao" in the journey to conquer the 2026 World Cup.

This is the information revealed by Globo and AS , after a meeting between Ancelotti's representative and the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) earlier this week. Ancelotti's decision to leave Real Madrid did not surprise many people, especially in the context of the La Liga club's recent decline in performance.

However, his contract with Real Madrid runs until 2026, and the Italian coach initially wanted to lead the club to the FIFA Club World Cup this summer before saying goodbye. However, the tense developments behind the scenes at Real Madrid in recent times have made him reconsider his future.

Previously, Marca reported that coach Ancelotti could even be fired this month, if Real Madrid lose points in the La Liga race or lose to Barca in the Copa del Rey final on April 27. Sources said that Xabi Alonso, coach of Bayer Leverkusen, is the leading candidate to replace Ancelotti, while Sports Director Santiago Solari could take on the role of interim manager at Real.

Ancelotti’s arrival in Brazil will be his first time in charge of a national team, after more than three decades coaching top clubs such as AC Milan, Chelsea and Bayern Munich. With his existing relationship with Brazilian stars such as Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo and Eder Militao, Ancelotti is expected to create a cohesive and competitive Selecao.

Fans are waiting to see if “Don Carlo” can recreate the magic to bring Brazil back to the top of the world . The CBF has long considered Ancelotti as the number one candidate to take over the national team. The CBF fired coach Dorival Junior after a 4-1 defeat to Argentina in a World Cup qualifier in March.

They sent someone to Madrid to approach Ancelotti immediately after Real Madrid's defeat to Arsenal in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. The Brazilian Football Confederation wants Ancelotti to start working with the Brazilian national team as soon as possible, with the 2026 World Cup just over a year away.

Valverde's masterpiece helped Real Madrid win 3 points. In the early morning of April 21, Valverde launched a classy volley in the 3rd minute of extra time, helping "Los Blancos" defeat Athletic Bilbao 1-0.
