World – Carlo Ancelotti on the Brazil bench … in June 2023?

Somehow, Brazil is drying its tears. And tries to get up after his elimination in the quarter-finals of the World Cup against Croatia. The priority, obviously, is now to find a successor to Tite, who left after the shattered dream of his selection. According to information from UOL Esporte, the priority of the Brazilian Football Federation (CBF) is called Carlo Ancelotti, currently on the Real Madrid bench. “It was consulted for the first time last October. He was open to discussion and ready to start concrete negotiations“, reports the very serious Brazilian media. “But the Italian would agree to take office only in June 2023, i.e. at the end of this season“, it is specified. Problem, his contract with the Merengues expires in 2024.

For its part, the CBF would however be ready to negotiate his departure with Real. The goal is clear: to succeed in bringing home the coach who has won everywhere he has gone, from AC Milan to Chelsea, from PSG to Bayern Munich. Despite a denial from the Brazilian Federation, UOL Esporte “confirm their information” regarding the active search for a successor to Tite. While waiting for Ancelotti, an interim could be appointed until next June.

Ronaldo validates three tracks

A time mentioned, the Pep Guardiola track would not be completely ruled out, but nevertheless remains difficult to achieve. “It’s an old dream of the national team, but Guardiola didn’t show much interest in accepting the challenge of working in Brazil. In November, he even renewed his contract with Manchester City until June 2025 and definitively buried the CBF plan“, reports UOL. For his part, Ronaldo, he spoke about the rumors around the position of coach of Brazil.

“Ancelotti or Guardiola? They are great masterssaid the world champion 2002. For me, it would not be a problem to see a foreign technician at the head of the selection. The names of Ancelotti and Guardiola are credible, like that of José Mourinho.” And “R9”, for his part, even said he was ready to come and give the Seleção a hand. “I am always available to help Brazil. Still. You’d have to figure out how, but I’m willing to do it“, he announced to The Sports Gazette. If time is still in tears in Brazil, that of reconstruction should not delay any longer.
