Overview

  • Carlo Ancelotti has reached a preliminary agreement to become Brazil's head coach, with a formal announcement expected before the Club World Cup.
  • Ancelotti will leave Real Madrid at the end of the season after a highly decorated tenure, including 15 major trophies across two stints.
  • This marks a historic shift for Brazil, as Ancelotti will be the first true foreign manager to lead the Seleção in over 100 years.
  • Brazil's Football Confederation (CBF) turned to Ancelotti following poor performances in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers and the dismissal of Dorival Júnior.
