Carlo Ancelotti’s bond with Brazilian football looks set to become a long-term affair. The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has officially offered the veteran Italian manager a new contract that would keep him in charge of the Seleção until June 2030, covering the next FIFA World Cup cycle.

According to the latest update shared by transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, an official proposal is already on the table and an agreement is believed to be very close. If finalised, Ancelotti would continue leading Brazil through the 2026 World Cup and beyond, a clear sign of the federation’s trust in his vision and calm leadership style.

CBF board members are reportedly “very happy” with Ancelotti’s impact since taking over the national team. Known for his man-management skills and tactical flexibility, the former Real Madrid boss has brought a sense of stability and authority to a Brazil side that has been searching for direction in recent years. His influence has also been felt off the pitch, with players responding positively to his experience and composed approach.
