In a stunning revelation, GE Globo has reported that Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti is poised to become the head coach of the Brazilian national team, starting in 2024. While an official announcement is yet to be made, sources indicate that the news will be confirmed in January.
Ancelotti has long been at the top of Brazil’s wish list to succeed Tite, who departed from the managerial post following the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar. In the interim, Ramon Menezes has been overseeing the Selecao, with the intention of securing Ancelotti’s appointment. Follow your favourite football team with attractive betting odds from Nextbet.
However, the 64-year-old tactician had previously expressed his commitment to staying at the helm of Real Madrid until his contract expires in 2024. Despite this, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) persisted in their pursuit of Ancelotti and were reportedly willing to wait until next year for his availability.
Following meetings between Ancelotti and CBF president Ednaldo Rodrigues in Spain over the past week, it is now understood that the Italian manager has agreed to take charge of the Brazilian national team in the summer of 2024, after his contract with Real Madrid concludes.
Reports suggest that Ancelotti will select a trusted colleague to work alongside Menezes until he officially assumes the role next year. Earlier speculations had hinted at Ancelotti’s son, Davide, joining the Brazil national team setup as a coach to facilitate the transition. However, it seems that this option has been discarded, and Ancelotti will appoint another individual to assist Menezes during the interim period.
Real Madrid is believed to be aware of these developments and has accepted Ancelotti’s desire to embark on this new career challenge in 2024. Both parties have reportedly agreed to delay the announcement until early 2024, respecting the contractual obligations and ensuring a smooth transition for Ancelotti and the Brazilian national team.
If the reports hold true, the appointment of Carlo Ancelotti as the Brazil manager will undoubtedly generate excitement and expectations among the passionate football-loving nation. With his wealth of experience and impressive track record, Ancelotti could bring a new era of success and tactical brilliance to the Selecao. The football world eagerly awaits the official confirmation of this momentous managerial change and the subsequent impact it will have on Brazilian football.
