Brazil Football Federation (CBF) is preparing to appoint Carlo Ancelotti as the new coach of the national team, aiming for him to lead the squad in June’s CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers.

Sources indicate that Ancelotti has signaled his readiness, allowing the CBF to plan for his arrival in Rio de Janeiro on May 26, shortly after Real Madrid’s final LaLiga game.

Ancelotti’s contract with Real Madrid extends until 2026, but recent talks with club president Florentino Perez suggest an agreement for his departure at the season’s end is likely.

Despite his past success with Madrid, including three Champions League trophies, this season’s underperformance has set the stage for the change.

Ancelotti will transition from club to country, bringing his extensive coaching experience to Brazil ahead of critical matches.

This move could shape Brazil’s World Cup campaign and marks a significant shift in the team’s leadership.
