Too early to rule it out? Brazil still hopes to land Ancelotti

At the end of 2023, rumors were swirling about Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti potentially taking charge of the Brazilian national team. While the move didn’t materialize at the time, Seleção has not given up hope.

Details: According to OK Diario, the South American giants have made it clear to Ancelotti that they are awaiting his response regarding the Brazil job until May. It is believed that the Italian will leave Real Madrid at the end of the season, and that window would represent the last opportunity to bring him in.

For now, Dorival Júnior remains in charge of Seleção, but Brazil’s fifth-place standing in World Cup qualifying has raised concerns within the federation’s leadership.

Reminder: Ancelotti previously stated that managing a national team is a complicated decision for him, as he enjoys coaching on a daily basis—something that isn’t possible in an international setup.
