Don Carlo Ancelotti Enters Second Round Of Discussions For The Brazil Coach Job
Carlo Ancelotti, the current manager of Real Madrid, is reportedly in a second round of discussions with the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) about becoming the head coach of Brazil’s national team. This development follows the recent dismissal of Dorival Junior from the position.
Ancelotti’s contract with Real Madrid runs until June 2026, but the CBF remains interested in securing his services. The Italian coach has previously acknowledged contact with Brazil and expressed that coaching the national team would be an exciting opportunity.
However, he has also emphasized his commitment to Real Madrid, stating that his priority is to continue his work with the club.

The CBF is closely monitoring Saturday’s Copa del Rey final between Real Madrid and Barcelona, knowing that a defeat could lead to more pressure on Ancelotti. The final will decide a lot of things, some sources also reported that Ancelotti would be leaving the Madrid job after the final irrespective of the results.
When asked about his future, Ancelotti recently said: “There’s nothing to say. We’ll talk about it at the end of the season.”
Don Carlo has recently refused to talk on the matter and has only hinted that he is committed to real madrid through and through. In earlier statements he had said that the Madrid job will be his last managerial stint. Brazil might be walking on thin ice but the likes of Vini, Rodrygo and Militao who are Brazilian and also play for Real Madrid, might help him in making a decision to move to Brazil.
Despite the ongoing negotiations, there is no official confirmation of Ancelotti’s appointment as Brazil’s head coach. The situation remains fluid, with both parties exploring the possibility of a future collaboration.
