Carlo Ancelotti, the head coach of Real Madrid, is preparing to enter negotiations regarding a contract with Brazil as he seeks to become the national team’s head coach in time for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in June.
Carlo Ancelotti, who is 65 years old, is anticipated to hold discussions with officials from the Brazilian Football Federation (CBF) in order to finalize details regarding his transfer to Brazil

Note that Brazilian businessman Diego Fernandes, who has been acting as a liaison for the CBF, was spotted in attendance at the Seville match, signalling the seriousness of Brazil’s interest in Ancelotti.
His current trip to Europe seems to be primarily aimed at persuading Ancelotti to accept the Brazil managerial position, ideally once the Spanish domestic season ends.
Should Ancelotti accept the Brazil job, it would entail departing from his role at Real Madrid before the summer’s Club World Cup, which is scheduled to take place in the United States.

After Brazil’s significant 4-1 defeat to Argentina in Buenos Aires last month, which led to the firing of Dorival Junior, Ancelotti has become the top contender for the position.
At present, Brazil is in the fourth position on the South American World Cup qualifying table. The CBF believes that, although Brazil seems secure from the risk of not qualifying for the newly expanded 48-team tournament, Ancelotti would improve their chances of winning the prestigious trophy.
It is worth noting that the CBF tried to acquire Ancelotti’s services for last summer’s Copa America, but their efforts did not succeed.
