Will Carlo Ancelotti lead the national team for the first time.

Ancelotti is expected to take the helm of the Brazilian national team, which is vacant. British daily newspaper Daily Mail claimed on the 18th (Korea time) 'There is a strong connection between the Brazilian national team and Ancelotti, who replaced Dorival Junior after suffering a crushing 1-4 defeat to Argentina last month' The media reported that `After Real Madrid was eliminated from the quarterfinals of the European Champions League, Ancelotti's future became uncertain' and that `Leverkusen coach Xavi Alonso is being considered a strong candidate to replace Ancelotti.' "Diego Fernandez has been in contact with Ancelotti in recent weeks. While the official connection between Fernandez and the Brazilian Football Association is unknown, his intention to approach Ancelotti is to persuade him to take the helm of the Brazilian national team," he added. Citing local reports in Spain that Ancelotti could leave the team after the Copa del Rey final on the 27th at the earliest, he added to the rumor that Ancelotti will be appointed as the new head coach before the upcoming A-match in June.

This is not the first time Brazil has courted Ancelotti. He was selected as a strong candidate for the appointment of the next coach after the 2022 Qatar World Cup. However, Ancelotti refused at the time, saying, `Thank you for the interest, but the contract with Real Madrid comes first.'




Ancelotti continued his career with the club team except for serving as the head coach of the Italian national team when he made his debut as a leader. In addition to Real Madrid, he led clubs representing Europe such as Juventus, AC Milan, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, and Napoli, and won the title 'master". In fact, there was a question about what kind of performance coach Ancelotti would make when he took charge of the national team, not the club. If he takes charge of Brazil and goes to the 2026 North-China World Cup, which is considered to be in the twilight of his leadership career, another interest is expected to be born.
