Brazil targets Ancelotti after Argentina humiliation

The Brazilian Football Confederation has resumed contacts with Carlo Ancelotti to become the new coach of the ‘Canarinha’ for the 2026 World Cup.
The current Madrid coach has been receptive to the talks, but has made it clear that no progress will be made until after the Club World Cup.
Ancelotti’s name is back in the spotlight. From Brazil, it has been reported that the CBF has resumed contacts with the Italian coach, a very desirable part of the organisation and its president, Ednaldo Rodrigues, re-elected at the head of the organisation until March 2030.
The media outlet in question has been ‘Globoesporte’, which has stated that the current Madrid coach is at the top of the list of favourites to coach the national team ahead of the 2026 World Cup. A tournament for which the ‘Canarinha’ have not yet qualified with four games to go until the end of the qualifiers.
Dorival Junior’s position has been badly shaken after the embarrassing defeat at the Monumental against Argentina (4-1). The ‘Albiceleste’ gave Dorival’s side a drubbing and the CBF have lost patience with the Paulista coach. A fact that has motivated the CBF to reactivate the Ancelotti option, with whom they have resumed contacts.
The aforementioned media has pointed out that Ancelotti, in these confidential conversations that are taking place, has made it very clear that there will be no progress until the Club World Cup is over. It should be remembered that the man from Carrara is immersed in the fight for all competitions with Madrid, who will then face the new FIFA tournament.
