A strange novel is over and the end is, at least for this side of the world, very happy.
Carlo Ancelotti, one of the most successful coaches in history, lands in South America and will be the Brazilian strategist, the only worldwide pentacampeon.
This was announced by the Brazilian Soccer Confederation (CBF), which has announced its arrival as of May 26, after the last date of LaLiga de España, which will close the Italian at the head of Real Madrid.
An extensive negotiation, which would have begun around 2023, has ended with the official announcement of Ednaldo Rodrigues, president of the CBF, welcoming the first foreign DT of the 'Canarinha' in its 11 years of history.
Ancelotti, a declaration of intentions
According to the CBF, the arrival of one of the strategists with more conquests in world football throughout history, with 31 total titles in Juventus, Milan, PSG, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, is a message to the rivals in different latitudes.
“Bringing Carlo Ancelotti at the head of Brazil is more than a strategic decision. It is a statement to the world of our determination for recovering the first position of the podium. He is the best coach in history and now directs the best national team on the planet. Together, we will write new glorious chapters for Brazilian football,” said Ednaldo Rodrigues.
He will then sign until the 2026 World Cup but with the option of extending the contract until 2030. This time his son, Davide Ancelotti, will not accompany him because he will begin his own career.
The debut of the new 'Carlinho' will be against Ecuador, on June 6, for the 15th of South American qualifiers. On June 10 he will premiere at home against Paraguay, in Sao Paulo. His assistants in Brazil will be Rodrigo Caetano, general coordinator of the Canarinha, and Juan, technical coordinator.
