Carlo Ancelotti will be the first foreign coach in the history of Brazil, the only world pentacampeón. Did you think it was going to be easy, Mr.?
Even without taking office, because he will be in charge of Real Madrid until May 25, the Italian already faces the first criticisms.
From Brazil they do not deal with their palmraés, the deep knowledge of several of the figures of the national team (Vinicius, Rodrygo, Casemiro and several more), of the possibility of having Kaká as a technical assistant or what a winner of 31 titles can do (31!) For a team come less in the qualifiers. What matters to them are the benefits of their contract … Ay Ancelotti, where you got into.
They accuse him of eccentric in Brazil
The first thing that mortifies several critics is the money that will win the strategist, which, according to ESPN Brazil, reaches 10 million euros, plus a bonus of compliance with 5 million more objectives.

Even President Lula criticized him
You have to know that when they arrived in Brazil all, from the president down, they were going to have their opinion. Lula da Silva did not hide his disapproval.
“Honestly, I have nothing against a foreigner to be in command of the national team, but there are coaches in Brazil who could lead the team,” said the president of Brazil.
“I told the president of the CBF that I would like to do an experiment calling for the best players who finished the Brazilian. Let's make a call with the 22 best players in the championship to see what happens. I think it would be the same or better,” said Lula, who would like only players from the local medium and not summon stars like Vinicius JR and Raphinha.
But of course, there are also defenders like Dunga, world champion in the United States 1994: “He is a coach who does not need to explain his skills. Now everyone has to help Ancelotti adapt more quickly. The CBF brought a great name,” said the former former
