Since Tite left the Brazilian team after their elimination in the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Qatar, there has been speculation in the neighboring country about a replacement for him. Now, the local press has pointed to a new favorite in the succession: Charles Ancelotti.
According to Brazilian media, the Italian coach, currently at Real Madrid, welcomes the possibility of being the technical director of the Brazilian team, which has increased the desire to sign him in the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), as indicated in the last hours the Brazilian press.
The announcement of the new coach of the Brazilian team could still be postponed, but in recent weeks the negotiations have taken important steps and The CBF, through intermediaries, learned that Ancelotti would like to take over the Brazilian team at the end of the season in Europe..
In a preview on the Globo Esporte portal, the president of the CBF, Ednaldo Rodrigues, plans to a meeting in February with the president of Real MadridFlorentino Pérez, to formalize a proposal.
The coach’s good relationship with the Brazilian players weighed in the CBF’s decision given that Ancelotti manages Rodrygo, Vini Jr. and Éder Militão in Spain, as well as having worked with Casemiro, a former Real Madrid player and now a Manchester United player.
Ancelotti’s contract with the Merengue club runs until mid-2024. At the end of last year, the manager said he had never been contacted by the CBF and hinted that he intended to stay at the Spanish club.
With the advances of the last few weeks, the CBF has agreed to wait for the coach until the end of the season. For this reason, he is already working with the possibility that Ramón Menezes, coach of the under-20 team, commanded the senior squad in the FIFA March date.
The matches are scheduled for the period from 20 to 28 and the CBF’s idea is to hold a single friendly and take advantage of a whole week of training.
