Carlo Ancelotti has immediately moved to his new job. After leaving Real Madrid. He has arrived in Rio de Janeiro and will be officially appointed as the head coach of the Brazil national team today (Monday, May 26). The

65-year-old Ancelotti is set to become the first foreigner in more than 60 years. To be appointed as the head coach of the Brazil national team.

He arrived in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday night wearing a cap embroidered with five stars. Representing the number of World Cup titles Brazil has won. Before being officially unveiled on Monday.

His task is not easy. Brazil is in a slump, having performed poorly in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, finishing fourth in South America, เว็บพนันออนไลน์ UFABET สมัครง่าย โปรโมชั่นมากมาย. And having just sacked Dorival Junior in March. After a humiliating 4-1 defeat to Argentina.

“You’re asking me about things I don’t know about,” Ancelotti responded. “As I’ve said, my relationship with Real Madrid will be forever, and as I’ve said many times, I have no desire to coach any other club, or I didn’t, after Real Madrid. In the future… well, I don’t know. But the immediate future is to do well with Brazil.”

While the door has likely closed for Ancelotti to ever manage Los Blancos again. There is still a possibility the club welcomes him back in a different capacity. Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez could offer Ancelotti a club ambassador role or a similar title should the Italian wish to return to the Spanish capital at some point down the line.

Ancelotti is set to make his first national team coaching appearance in June. With two important World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Paraguay.

Ancelotti’s contract with the Brazil national team is reportedly worth a staggering €10 million per year. And he will be joined by his son Davide Ancelotti on his coaching staff.
