A legend on the bench for a football legend. It's official: Carlo Ancelotti will be the new coach of the Brazilian national team and will lead the Seleção until the 2026 World Cup. The Brazilian Football Federation (CBF) announced it through its official channels, with words that already sound like a manifesto: “The greatest national team in the history of football will now be led by the most successful coach in the world.”
It is the president of the CBF, Ednaldo Rodrigues, who underlines the significance of the operation: "Bringing Ancelotti to lead Brazil is more than a technical choice, it is a declaration of intent. We want to take back the highest place on the podium. With him we will write new glorious chapters of Brazilian football".
A dream combination that is shaking up the international scene: the man of trophies and impossible comebacks sits on the bench most charged with expectations and history. A union that bookmakers immediately see as promising: the sixth World Cup for Brazil is given at 7,50 by Snai and William Hill, just behind the European champion Spain at 6,50. Further away are Messi's Argentina and Spalletti's Italy, both quoted at 10.
For Ancelotti it will be the first adventure as CT, but with a baggage that few coaches can even dream of: Champions, championships won in the main European tournaments, natural leadership and a human management that makes him beloved wherever he goes. Now a new chapter opens, with a single mission: to return Brazil to the throne of world football. And, this time, leading the green-gold dance will be an Italian conductor.
