The Italian Carlo Ancelotti will be a technician Brazil from America’s Cup 2024, which will be held in June and July next year in the United States, as soon as his contract with Real Madrid expires, a Brazilian soccer source told AFP on Tuesday. Confederation (CBF).
The CBF also said in a statement, a few minutes earlier, that Fernando Diniz (Fluminense) will lead the five-time world champions until Ancelotti takes over. The 64-year-old Italian coach has a contract with Real Madrid until June 2024 and has publicly said he wants to continue until then.
This announcement, made by a high-level source within the CBF who did not want to be named, ends months of negotiations between the European and the head of the Brazilian federation, Ednaldo Rodrigues, who has always been considered Ancellotti is his favorite.
Brazilian coach Tite, who has been in charge since 2016, stepped down from his duties after the defeat against Croatia in the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Qatar in December.
Ancelotti will be the fourth foreigner to lead the Seleçao, the first in almost 60 years. The Italian, however, has announced on several occasions that he will retire after this final spell at Real, after nearly three decades on the sidelines. But he was finally drawn to Brazil, a country where soccer is king.
The challenge is daunting: the five-time world champions are chasing their sixth star in over twenty years and their last title in 2002.
