The Brazil Football Confederation believes Carlo Ancelotti might soon lead their national team. They are hopeful the Italian will join before the Club World Cup starts.
What Happened?
Brazilian officials are confident about hiring Ancelotti this summer. Initially, it seemed Ancelotti would leave Real Madrid after the Club World Cup in June, but now he might transition earlier. Brazil delegates have gone to Spain to discuss with Ancelotti and his team. It is believed Ancelotti has told some Real Madrid players of his plan to leave after this season, and Brazil wants him to rebuild the team before the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Brazil and Real Madrid: Context and Current Form
Ancelotti had much success with Real Madrid, winning Champions League and La Liga titles. However, this season is different. Madrid is out of the Champions League after losing to Arsenal. They are four points behind Barcelona in La Liga with just five matches left. Meanwhile, Brazil recently fired Dorival Júnior after some bad results. The CBF values Ancelotti’s experience and thinks he can connect well with Brazilian stars like Vinícius Júnior and Rodrygo. They see him as the leader to start a new era for the team.
What’s Next for Brazil and Ancelotti?
If Ancelotti joins, it would be his first national team coaching job since the mid-1990s. He would have plenty of time to prepare for World Cup qualifiers and build a team to win the 2026 World Cup. Real Madrid has a crucial game next against Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final. It will be important for their season and for Ancelotti’s future. With Brazil pushing for this move, all eyes will be on Madrid’s coming matches and how soon this coaching change could happen.
