In a move that has shocked both club and international football, Carlo Ancelotti has officially agreed to become the next head coach of the Brazil national team. After months of speculation, the Italian maestro has said "yes" to Brazil, opening the door to what could be one of the most exciting chapters in football history.
Why Ancelotti and Why Now?
For a long time, Brazil has been looking for a manager who could restore their status as the kings of world football. After disappointing campaigns in recent World Cups, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) believed that a fresh approach was needed — someone with a winning mentality, global respect, and the ability to manage superstars.
In Ancelotti, they have found exactly that.
Known for his calm leadership and tactical brilliance, Ancelotti brings with him a wealth of experience. He has managed top clubs like AC Milan, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid, winning league titles and Champions Leagues along the way. His calm personality, combined with his ability to handle big egos in the dressing room, makes him a perfect fit for a team full of stars like Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo, and Neymar.
The Contract Details
According to multiple reports, Ancelotti’s deal with Brazil will officially begin in June 2025, once he completes his current season with Real Madrid. The agreement will see him lead the team through the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with an option to extend his contract until 2030 depending on results.
Financially, the deal is just as impressive. Ancelotti will reportedly earn €10 million per year, making him one of the highest-paid national team managers in history.
Real Madrid’s Loss, Brazil’s Gain
While Real Madrid fans are sad to see him go, the club’s board was aware of his talks with Brazil. After a season filled with highs and lows — including a Champions League quarter-final exit to Arsenal and a Copa del Rey loss to Barcelona — it seemed like the perfect time for a change.
Real Madrid is now expected to appoint Xabi Alonso, currently coaching Bayer Leverkusen, as their next manager.
Ancelotti leaves Madrid as one of the club’s most successful managers, having delivered multiple trophies and unforgettable nights at the Santiago Bernabéu.
What This Means for Brazil
The appointment of Ancelotti signals a new and serious intention from Brazil: they want to dominate the world stage again. With young talents like Endrick rising, and key players like Vinícius Júnior already world-class, Brazil’s squad is loaded with potential.
Ancelotti’s experience could be exactly what they need to bring balance, discipline, and a winning mentality back into the team. Many Brazilians are hoping he can deliver their sixth World Cup title, something they have been chasing since their last triumph in 2002.
Interestingly, Ancelotti will be managing several players he already knows very well from Real Madrid — a huge advantage when it comes to building team chemistry quickly.
A New Journey Begins
As Ancelotti prepares for his final season with Real Madrid, excitement is already building in Brazil. Fans are dreaming again, believing that under Ancelotti’s leadership, the Seleção can rise to the very top of world football once more.
Only time will tell how this bold move will unfold, but one thing is clear:
Brazil is serious about winning — and Carlo Ancelotti is ready to lead them.
