At the end of the season, Italian Carlo Ancelotti will become the head coach of Brazil, and on Monday, May 12, he confirmed the country’s football federation. One of the most decorated managers in world football will leave their position in Real Madrid with one year remaining on his contract.
65 -year -old Ancelotti enjoyed four successful years in her second holding in Madrid, but left the club after the Trophyless season 2024–25. Madrid has a chance at the World Championship in the club, which starts at the end of the season, but it was reported that Xabi Alonso would take over the side by then.

“Bringing Carlo Ancelotti to Brazil’s coach is more than a strategic step. It is a statement for the world that we are determined to regain the first place of football,” said CBF President Ednaldo Rodrigues.
“He is the biggest coach in history and is now the helmet the largest national team on the planet. Together we will write new chapters in the famous history of Brazilian football.”
Anecelotti to Brazil: Timeline
The CBF notification confirms the highly anticipated step and ends the saga that has been suppressed for years. Rodrigues first acknowledged in an exclusive interview with Reuters more than two years ago, intending to sign Ancelotti, saying that “it would be infallible” that would be in charge of the coach Tite after a heartbreaking loss of trials to Croatia at the Quarterly Cup 2022.
At that time, Rodrigues failed to lure Ancelotti from Real, and when Italian extended his real contract for the next two years in December 2023, it seemed that he had ended any chance that he would soon take over five times the world champions.
However, after a new manager of Brazil Dorival JR was released in March after more than a year at work due to a number of bad results, Rodrigues turned again to Ancelotti. The Italian had the remaining year on his contract, but Real is a stunning season and his desire to coach Brazil led to mutual agreement on partial ways, he added football sources.

When Ancelotti was lured back to Madrid for the second spell three years ago, after the Great Zinedine Zidane left the club, the Italian knew that his only mission was to increase Real’s Trophy Tack – and did not disappoint.
He became the first manager to capture titles in each of the top five European leagues – England, Spain, Germany, Italy and France – and in three seasons he led the real leagues of two masters and Laliga.
Ancelott’s Madrid Silverware includes three champions league titles, two club championships, three European super cups, two Laliga titles, two Spanish cups, two Spanish Super Cups and one intergestal cup.
