Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti, currently at the helm of Spanish club Real Madrid, has been officially appointed as the new head coach of the Brazil national football team, according to a Monday announcement by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). Ancelotti will step down from his role at Real Madrid at the end of this season and will lead the Brazilian team through to the 2026 World Cup.
The 65-year-old will be taking charge of the five-time world champions during a challenging period in terms of results. He is expected to be succeeded at Real Madrid by the young coach Xabi Alonso, who has confirmed his departure from his current club, Bayer Leverkusen.
In a statement, the CBF said: “The most successful coach in the world will now lead the greatest national team in football history.”
The federation added that Ancelotti will guide Brazil until the 2026 World Cup and will be in charge for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers next month against Ecuador and Paraguay.
CBF President Ednaldo Rodrigues commented: “Appointing Carlo Ancelotti as head coach of the Brazil national team is not just a strategic move, but a message to the world that we are determined to return to the top of the podium.”
The decision follows the dismissal of former coach Dorival Júnior after a heavy 4-1 loss to Argentina in March during the South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. Brazil currently sits fourth in the qualification group.
Ancelotti departs Madrid as one of the most successful managers in the club’s history, having won 15 titles over two spells, including a league and Champions League double last season.
