The presence of quality coaches will increase Brazil chances of winning the championship trophy in every competition they take part in. Dorival JR, who managed to win the Copa Libertadores and the Brazilian Cup with Sao Paulo, is being considered by the Brazilian Football Federation (CFB), perhaps local coaches will be given more priority because they understand the culture of their team, So it is felt that Dorival JR is the right person to carry out this responsibility.

Brazil challenge in the future is very big, not only to qualify for the World Cup, but in the next few months they will take part in the Copa America competition, I think that could be an opportunity to assess the quality of Dorival JR before going further to the 2026 World cup. regarding Ancelotti who failed to be appointed as Brazil coach, It is reported that the dismissal of the CFB President was a strong reason behind the failure of this decision.

Overall, the Brazilian national team squad is filled with players with extraordinary talent, we can see the names of their stars who play for a number of top european clubs. if the current problems are not handled well, They could lose their luck in every competition, and we can never imagine that at all.

The Brazilian team It's not in a good phase and this can be seen in the team's performance year after year.
The coach is another variable that influences the team, with Diniz's dismissal the Brazilian team will have to hire a coach asap, because this is also a variable that affects the team.
One of the rumors is that Dorival JR could be the coach of Brazilian team (@rdluffy said above).
An excellent coach who could be hired for the Brazilian team is Ancelotti, I would like to see him in brazilian national team, but unfortunately that won't happen.

Brazil is surprising because it is a great team, it is a team that will always surprise and that will always make a difference, now things I don't know if they are going well or badly for the team because Ancelotti told them that he was not going to coach the team and in Part of it is a tough goal, because they say that they can make a difference with him, however I have always said that Brazil knows how to defend itself, I think Brazil will come like a lion when the qualifiers resume, I personally will always see this team with a lot of respect, it is also worth noting that the other teams have surpassed themselves and the level they have is impressive, it seems any team can now beat Brazil, but come on, they have Ney injured, they had Vinicius also the same, they had done a good job against Colombia, but I think things really didn't work out because from one moment to the next they fell but I know that as they are they will get up.

Now, what I sense is that from now on Brazil will not Forgive any team if they Recover as I think , because it is something that they have always done, that is, they are not going to lose a single game, that is what I I think it will happen, but it remains to be seen how they will turn out in attitude, everything is there, because I have always and all my life I have not missed the soccer games when they are playoffs and that has been since I had the use of reason since I was very little , you know things can be like that, Argentina and Brazil have always been the ones that have dominated soccer in South America and that is Something that has been marked, there are Always other Teams that stand out, but I think the best ones so far are As the table of positions Indicates , neither more nor less , I believe that all the Teams in the classification are where they should be, because that is the football that they have played, Undoubtedly Argentina very good and Impeccable , a very tough team thanks to Messi .

Yeah, we will have to see what happens.

Also another thing that most people don't discuss is how well Venezuela is performing in this qualification. They are usually at the bottom of the table, but now they have really good chances to qualify.

I feel that most people simply talk about Brazil not being great but forget to discuss the teams replacing Brazil instead.

Brazil started the tournament quite well. They literally destroyed Bolivia, with a margin of 5-1, and in this match both Neymar and Rodrygo scored two goals each. In the second match they defeated Peru by a margin of 1-0. Then Neymar got injured and things went downhill for Brazil. First a draw against Venezuela, and then consecutive defeats against Uruguay, Colombia and Argentina. Now the tournament will resume only after 9 months and they have enough time to regroup and undergo introspection. And by then, the new coach will also join them.

Currently, the performance of the Brazilian team is very bad. Because the players of the Brazil team have a lot of self-conceit because they know that there is no one above us. I can only guess that because the five-time World Cup winning nation Brazil is the only team where there is fear or interest in playing even among the players, but corruption is high among the people at the top. Here in world cup 2026 Qualifications point table Brazil team is number 6. Brazil team is not performing well in these seasons.

Brazil, I respect them because they've earned it over the decades and they will continue to be the country of the lips of every countries in America. The thing is, Brazil lacks quite good uniform style of game, they're recalcitrant to instructions and they never for a day admits they're not in good shape. Brazil is a top team and none of these random European countries will wish to face them in any top competition more especially the World cups. Brazil have the players but they lack an experience coach that will focused good time on his players and make out the best from them.

Fernando Diniz, who previously served as interim coach of the Brazilian National Team, has been fired, I think the Brazilian Football Federation will try hard to find a new successor to bring their country back into consideration, not only in the World Cup but in the Copa America too.

There are wild rumors circulating that Jose Mourinho is linked with the Brazilian national team, but he admits that no one has contacted him until now. We know Mourinho contract will end in june 2024, but I think The Special One will not be Brazil coach after they failed to recruit Ancelotti.

Brazil is currently at its lowest point, it is reported that a series of changes in coaches in the National Team and the removal of the President of the Federation received a warning from FIFA, it seems that the problem has become very complex at the moment, and I hope it can be resolved quickly so that it does not have a negative impact on the team future development.

Brazil is still trying to use the Brazilian coach; maybe that's why they haven't used another coach in this team so far. I think Brazil should accept the change if they really want to have good results in the 2026 World Cup because the current team we see from Brazil is not the team to get good results and even get good results in the Copa America.

I 100% agree with you. Now is not the time to be sitting around. The previous coach was not working for the team which is why he was sacked. But the management should find someone as soon as possible be it foreign or Brazilian because Copa America is very close and the World Cup Qualifiers are getting kind of out of hand. Things will get out of hand if they lose or draw more matches. These cannot be happening.

But to be honest I don't think there are many coaches in Brazil to my knowledge. But I think they should prioritize getting a Brazilian coach and if they fail they should get a foreign one.

@alegotardo, the most likely coach at the moment is Dorival JR, from São Paulo, take a look Here and Here

The most important thing now is to find a coach for the Copa America so that we can start preparing for the 2026 World Cup, which is the big goal
It's a very delicate situation, there's no more time for many tests or another change of coaches
It's incredible to think that Brazil, the most World Cup winner, is so disorganized that it's practically the only one of the big teams that still doesn't have a coach and plans for 2026

When it comes football talent, I don't think there's any country that has more than the Brazilian national team does but in recent months, they've not been impressive in their performances and that has given a lot of football lovers some serious concerns about the future of the Brazilian national team. It was reported in the media months that Carlo Ancelotti will take over the coaching job of the Brazilian national team but last month, the Real Madrid boss extended his contract at his current club till the summer of 2026 which now means that his proposed move to become the Brazilian national team coach next summer isn't gonna work.

The country's football management must act as fast as possible to to hire another coach that's very experienced enough to bring back the Samba Boys back to winning ways.

Brazil is definitely changing and they should accept this, some players in this country are seeking for chance to show better performance from themselves. On the other hand, they should accept to work with non-Brazilan coaches, maybe if the president of Brazil hadn't talked about Ancelotti in the past months he would not have extended his contract with Real Madrid and they could have this coach but it seems they should try another coach and this is very risky for them because if thy new coach fails the team, they can't have good performance in the important tournament like the 2026 World cup and that's not good for the reputation of this country.

op I agree with you because if we look at the performance of the Brazilian team three to four years ago, the Brazilian team performed very well. But the Brazil team has performed very poorly since the current 2026 qualifiers. With Neymar not in the team, Brazil is under a lot of pressure. So the Brazil team must prepare well for the 2026 World Cup so that they can complete the mission of the 2026 World Cup well. This performance of the Brazilian team has really disappointed thousands of football fans. So the Brazil team needs to get back to their former form very soon so that they can win the 2026 World Cup.

There are various rumors regarding who the CBF will bring in as coach who can bring Brazil to its best performance for the 2026 World Cup, but the CBF must really be able to bring in an experienced coach so that Brazil remains as expected.
Previously there was the name Jorge Jesus from Al Hilal and before these rumors were discussed, now the name Jose Mourinho has emerged again, who is currently coaching the Serie A team AS Roma.

Several news stories or rumors that have surfaced still state that Jose Mourinho himself stated that he had not yet met with the CBF regarding their interest in using Mourinho services.
I sure that if there is not an immediate meeting and discussion of the offer to Mourinho then there will definitely be other names linked to Brazil and this is condition where there is no confidence from the CBF in the coach who will be brought in.
It just that when talking about the three coaches who are being rumored, Ancelotti is clearly the best, but because he has contract extension with Real Madrid, Jose Mourinho will be much better than Jorge Jesus.
Jose Mourinho has much more experience than Jorge Jesus who is currently coaching Al Hilal, even though Al Hilal is in very good condition and AS Roma is not very stable, the coaching style when leading national team will be much more mastered by Jose Mourinho.

CBF was quite surprised when he found out that Ancelotti had extended his contract because before the extension was carried out CBF had met Ancelotti and discussed the agreement and offer that had been submitted.
Now Ancelotti will continue to focus on Real Madrid to win La Liga and the UCL, while the CBF is still busy looking for suitable coach for the Brazilian national team.

I've been reading some news and another hypothesis is that the CBF may go after Portuguese coach José Mourinho as their main target to take command of the Brazilian team.

Mourinho, who currently leads the Roma team with a contract that will end in June and which he does not intend to renew until that moment. The CBF is already aware of this situation and intends to advance in negotiations for his arrival. But just as happened with Lancelotti, so far no official proposal has been made by the Brazilian Federation, only consultations and expressions of interest.

Although it is difficult, I believe that they should maintain their commitment to looking for a foreign coach.... some friends of mine argue that they should choose a Brazilian coach, but among the "available" options, I don't see a future for Brazil if it is led by them .

Now it's official, Fernando Diniz is no longer Brazil's coach
It was confirmed by the CBF this morning

It's not a good time for the Brazilian national team, there have been some problems with the CBF presidency and this is also affecting the team

In Brazil, the most favorite coach right now is Dorival Jr, who is currently coach of São Paulo and won the Copa do Brasil with the team in 2023
They don't seem to be looking for foreign coaches anymore

I even think that currently Brazil's quality has really decreased compared to the previous few years. Maybe the leadership factor could also be the cause but if you say that they still have quality I think that's not quite right. If they have the quality they should not be the talk of the football community around the world. I have even heard many people say that Brazil today is not the Brazil they once remembered.

I can tell you now that this is a rumor and Jose Mourinho will not be joining any national team. He is not someone who would join a national team. And his playing style is not similar to the Brazilian’s playing style. The Brazilian players play with skills and are mainly attacking minded and we all know Mourinho plays super defensively. So this would be very surprising for me if for some reason Mourinho joins Brazil's national team or any other national team.

Leviathan.007, I would agree with you. Coaching any national team is very risky and when it is Brazil it is going to be tougher. If he does not provide results it will be dangerous for him because we all know how passionate the Brazilians are about football. If Ancelotti were coming I would have said it is a good decision if he joins because Ancelotti had prior experience with some of the young Brazilians in his own team. But with Mourinho the case is different.

Checking his last teams of Mourinho in the past and his career he had before, he never coached a national team, and as you said I don't think even if he is interested to start coaching national teams.
While coaching a team like Brazil seems risky for any coach and they need a coach with experience in coaching national teams to have a more stable performance because Brazil doesn't have the time to test the coaches like Jose Mourinho.
Maybe they should start looking for another coach instead of Mourinho.
