The Italian coach claimed that he would be willing to stay as البرازيل manager beyond the 2026 كأس العالم if the CBF offered him an extension. In the summer, Ancelotti penned a one-year contract, which will run until the end of the Selecao’s campaign in North America next year.
Brazil footballers have accepted Ancelotti’s leadership in the وطني team, with stars like Bruno Guimaraes and Luis Henrique publicly stating that the Italian’s “fatherly approach” has won over the entire squad. So far, under Ancelotti’s tutelage, the five-time world champions have played four matches, out of which they won against Paraguay و تشيلي, drew against الإكوادور and lost to Bolivia.
التحدث إلى إي إس بي إن the Italian coach said, “Yes, I wanted to coach the Brazilian national team (since 2023). Preparing for the World Cup for Brazil is something special. I signed a one-year contract. After the World Cup, everything is open. I think it was right at that time to sign a one-year contract. I have no problem if the CBF wants to continue. There’s no problem. As I said, I’m very happy here, my family is happy too. We can think about it. We have time to talk about it, I have no problem continuing. It would be لطيف - جيد (to stay until 2030).”
Brazil are scheduled to face Asian giants كوريا الجنوبية و اليابان in friendly matches during the international break next month.
