## ***Carlo Ancelotti to Coach Brazil: A Historic Move Confirmed Ahead of 2026 World Cup***

### A New Era for Brazil

This bold move by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) signals their intent to revamp and reignite their quest for a sixth World Cup title. With Dorival Junior dismissed in March following a 4-1 defeat to Argentina, Brazil turned to the most successful coach in UEFA Champions League history.

As the CBF stated:

“The greatest national team in football history will now be led by the most successful coach in the world.”

Ancelotti brings unparalleled pedigree to the role — five-time Champions League winner, multiple domestic titles across Italy, England, Spain, France, and Germany, and a reputation for elite man-management and tactical intelligence.

### End of an Era at Real Madrid

Despite his accomplishments, Real Madrid’s 2024/25 season failed to meet expectations. A string of El Clásico defeats and a Champions League exit saw the club slipping behind archrivals Barcelona. With Xabi Alonso now confirmed as his successor, the timing for transition was ideal.

### What’s Next for Ancelotti?

Ancelotti officially starts his Brazil tenure **from May 26**, just a day after Real Madrid’s final La Liga game. He is expected to make his **Seleção debut on June 6** in a World Cup qualifier against Ecuador, followed by a clash with Paraguay on June 11.

His contract runs until the **2026 FIFA World Cup**, where expectations are sky-high for him to return Brazil to global supremacy. With stars like Vinícius Jr., Rodrygo, and Endrick in the squad, Ancelotti has a generational crop to lead.
