Carlo Ancelotti is ready to begin a new chapter in his legendary career as the Italian tactician has confirmed he will soon sign a new four-year contract with the Brazil national team, extending his stay through two World Cups.
Speaking to Movistar about his future, Carlo Ancelotti revealed his excitement about the role and his confidence in the project. “I believe I will renew my contract with Brazil for four years. It’s a new job and I’m really impressed by it,” Ancelotti said, underlining his enthusiasm for leading one of football’s most iconic nations.
The agreement is expected to keep Ancelotti in charge for the 2026 and 2030 FIFA World Cups, making him one of the longest-serving foreign managers in the history of the Brazil national football team. His appointment already marked a historic moment, as he became the first full-time European coach to lead the Seleção.
Brazil’s football federation sees Ancelotti as the ideal figure to restore the country’s dominance on the global stage after recent World Cup disappointments. Known for his calm leadership and tactical flexibility, the veteran coach has won league titles in all of Europe’s top five leagues and boasts multiple UEFA Champions League trophies.
