Brazil has entered a new era in its national football team, led by the experienced coach Carlo Ancelotti. The five-time world champions are placing their faith in Ancelotti to restore the Selesão to glory. On the field, the results are already visible. Players like Vinícius Júnior and Raphinha have begun performing with renewed vigor under his guidance.
CBF President Samir Jaoud has expressed interest in initiating discussions to extend Ancelotti’s contract, which currently runs until the 2026 World Cup. Jaoud recently stated that he is keen on extending the Italian coach’s contract through to 2030, ensuring that Ancelotti can lead Brazil through two World Cups.
In an interview, Jaoud said, “I view these discussions positively. Everything depends on mutual agreement. I always value working relationships, and everything is in place to ensure success.”
ESPN has reported that talks are expected to begin next year, with the hope that Ancelotti will extend his contract prior to the 2026 World Cup. Brazil wants to ensure that, regardless of next year’s World Cup outcome, Ancelotti remains in charge.
The 66-year-old coach took over in May after leaving Real Madrid and has already improved Brazil’s performance. Brazil recently defeated Senegal 2-0 and drew 1-1 with Tunisia, reflecting Ancelotti’s impact on the squad.
