“Bringing Carl Ancelotti to Coach Brazil is more than a strategic movement. The statement is that we are determined to regain the top of the podium,” said CBF President Eddnaldo Rodrigues.
“He is the biggest coach in history and will now be with the biggest national team on the planet. We will write new famous chapters of Brazilian football together.”
CBF added that “Ancelotti begins his mission this week” at meetings with the General Coordinator Rodrig Caetan and former defender Juan, the technical coordinator of the Confederation, so he can choose his detachment.
Brazil is fourth in the South American qualification for the World Cup.
Ancelotti is moving to international management after winning the title in Italy, England, Spain, France and Germany.
He led Milan to the Champions League trophy in 2003 and 2007 and added three more titles with Real Madrid in 2014, 2022 and last year.
