@out of mind once he takes over then it’ll signal the end of Casemiro Brazil’s career as he had sold him while being the coach of Real Madrid and thus I expect him to drop him from the Brazil team right away. Furthermore Ancelotti is very experienced and he can definitely handle this huge challenge that he’s about to take and lastly I’m hoping that he can finally unlock this Brazil sides potential as they often don’t play their best football these days.

It is great that Real Madrid coach Ancelotti will take charge of Brazil, and Brazil will win the Mission Hexa. Ancelotti is a successful coach, and we know he has been in charge for a long time at Real Madrid and made Real Madrid champions. So everyone is hopeful that Ancelotti will complete Mission Hexa in charge of Brazil and woo the Brazil fans.

At this point, Brazil is overdependent on Neymar (who is injury prone). There are promising players such as Gabriel Jesus, Vinícius Júnior and Richarlison, but they don't have the capability of winning matches on their own for Brazil. And at this point, I am not sure what improvement Carlo Ancelotti can bring in the Brazilian national team. Already there is good bonding between the players and their tactics are quite decent. And it needs to be seen whether Ancelotti's training regimen and tactics will work with the Brazilian team.

Ancelotti has signed a one-year contract with the Brazilian football team and will leave Real Madrid to take charge of the Brazilian national team next season. This is the first time in football history that Brazil has appointed a manager from a foreign country to coach their team.  Ancelotti has been successful for the club so far but now the responsibility is bigger for him. The team that Ancelotti is taking over from Real Madrid has won the World Cup five times and they have been dreaming of consecutive Mission Hexa wins for several seasons but they have yet to win the Mission Hexa. Brazil fans are dreaming that Ancelotti will win the Mission Hexa.

Yes, I certainly agree with you. The rumors this team seems stronger. We have been hearing rumors even about Ancelotti’s replacement for Real Madrid. World Cup winning Argentine coach Lionel Scaloni is one of them.

But Ancelotti currently needs to focus on his team. They are 1 point behind Girona now in the La Liga and they got paired up against Leipzig in the UCL playoffs. Anything can go wrong at this moment. Their team needs to focus and keep up the consistency and by doing so they might win both the La Liga and UCL.

Yes, deal is already safe and most chances Carlos Ancelotti is now set for joining Brazil after end of 2024 season in La Liga and there is no doubt about this challenging job, but he is man who can bring changes even there are no good hopes for this job as currently Brazilian is down badly in confidence with their performance, but we all know talent is amazing just need to be managed someone extraordinary in this job, and we know about how competitive is Carlos Ancelotti.

After joining in 2024 he will be going to prepare things for the 2026 world cup which is surely not easy because he needs to start from scratch and also needs to be having well preparation for the qualifiers as well because currently they are not good which is also problem for them in near future.

Of course, Alonso is supposed to be the new coach of Real Madrid. It is going to be a bit of a surprise if he is not. But it is still a long way away till the new season. A lot of things can happen in this time frame. But if everything is okay I think he is definitely going to be the new coach of Real Madrid. And looking at what he has done with his current team so far, I think this venture is going to be a success for him. And even with Real Madrid, I don't expect anything other than success. I would say that Real Madrid is pretty lucky. Because at this moment a lot of clubs are not finding the good coaches.

I’m not sure that betting on youth will be justified, Brazilians have a southern temperament, and in order to win tournaments you must be able to “take a hit” in difficult situations, and not just play for fun when “everything works out”. Although, again, you need to look at the names of what you mean. For example, the “experienced” Neymar seems to have never regained his restraint, and although now his return to football is generally in question, his behavior is typical of many Brazilian players. Even Vinny, who is more professional than Neymar, is very emotional.

Before the World Cup, the America's Cup 2024 will take place, which, of course, everyone has forgotten about against the backdrop of Euro 2024, but for local teams this is a top event and another failure of Brazil will be taken very painfully despite the status of the tournament. Brazil starts in a group with Colombia, Paraguay and the winner of the Costa Rica-Honduras pair and a place in the quarter-finals looks guaranteed, the only question is at what stage the meeting with Argentina will take place.

A ticket to the World Cup and even a place in the 1/8 are practically guaranteed due to the new format, but it is still completely unclear under whose leadership Brazil will go there. It seems that everything must be decided this summer and then we will find out Brazil’s approximate plans for the remaining cycle until the World Cup.

Brazilian team do need a shake up and for that they need some experienced coach. Brazil has a good supply of young players. The coach needs to create a new team with youth on focus. The qualifier games for this year are over and they have a whole year to try different things as nothing is more important than the world cup.
They are currently poised to qualify and if improved in the upcoming year, luckily at least 6 of the 10 CONMEBOL team qualifying this time, they would again be a favorite team in the world cup.

In the end, it is up to Carlo Ancelotti to decide whether he wants to go after the big bucks being offered by Real Madrid, or the fame that comes with the coaching role with Brazil. The latter option is more risky, I would say. Brazil is a time that is disintegrating and I am not very hopeful about their chances in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. I would even go to the extent of saying that I am not even sure about Brazil qualifying for the 2026 event. At this point, they are no.6 in the CONMEBOL qualifiers after losing matches to Uruguay, Colombia and Argentina.

I have also heard this news for long time and it looks fine without any problems so Ancelotti has been confirmed as coach of the Brazilian national team.
There seems to be no signing yet because considering that Ancelotti himself is coach who still has contract with Real Madrid, perhaps after his contract expires there will be an inauguration or signing of an agreement from both parties.

There is the name Xabi Alonso who is always associated with Real Madrid to be able to replace Ancelotti and of course Ancelotti has also agreed or stated that Xabi Alonso will be good coach for Real Madrid.
All this is because of Xabi Alonso achievements in bringing Leverkusen to improve the quality of the game and consistently succeeding in bringing Leverkusen so far to the top of the standings and has the opportunity to become Bundesliga champions.

I also think that Real Madrid doesn't need to look for an alternative who can replace Ancelotti for a longer time because there are also several reports circulating that Xabi Alonso is also interested in being able to train the Real Madrid squad and lead them to title UCL again.

As far as I know the deal is pretty safe between Ancelotti and Brazil although I don't know whether there have been any signings yet.

I assume that if Real Madrid can't find an alternative, maybe there will be compromise for one more season with Ancelotti. But he knows if he wants to prepare the Brazilian team for 2026, he can't wait any longer than until summer 2025. I am sure that coaching a national team at a World Cup is one of his big plans and getting the chance to take responsibility for the Brazilian team sounds like a great opportunity. But if he doesn't give it enough, time it might go wrong big time.

Even the last summer there was much news about Ancelotti leaving the team to Brazil and Real Madrid was also seeking alternative options for this coach but in the lat moments he didn't do that and he preferred to stay in his team However I think there's certainly a higher chance for Ancelotti to this time leave Real Madrid for Brazil which can make improvements in this team.

News of Ancelotti's hiring has been circulating in Brazil for some time now. It's not just a rumor, the CBF's interest in hiring the coach is real. The only thing standing in the way was his contract with Real Madrid
The current coach, Fernando Diniz, is also the coach of Fluminense, who are in the final of the FIFA Club World Cup, which shows that he is only an interim coach, and not the long-term coach
The plan for the 2026 World Cup in Brazil is very clear, and it includes coach Ancelotti

And in my opinion, a change in Brazil's style of play is necessary at this time and the coach is used to European players, to the European style, and can bring a lot of progress and evolve the Brazilian team to play in 2026 and have a good World Cup
Brazil's phase is very bad, but I'm not saying that qualification for 2026 is risky because 6 teams will qualify out of the 10 competing for CONMEBOL

I think Ancelotti is a coach who can bring the best out of the team he has been given. I support the move of him managing the Brazilian Squad.

Ancelotti getting the management of Brazilian Squad is something I am looking forward to. He can get the squad to perform and hopefully complete their Hexa. I don't think him not being Brazilian is not going to be a problem for Brazil to recruit him. After all, no other Brazilian coaches are interested or good enough to take the job. Ancelotti should get hold of the Brazilian Squad as soon as possible to start building a squad and prepare for the Hexa mission in 2026 World Cup.

The current state of Brazil's team is very bad. They are in a very bad position in the qualifying phase, how the 2026 World Cup Brazil team will perform is a matter of thought. If we look at the 2022 World Cup Brazil performed very well with every player playing with intensity. However, the condition of the current Brazil team is not very good. They have to come back very quickly. Otherwise, they will not be able to perform well in the 2026 World Cup. It is also doubtful whether Neymar will be able to play in the 2026 World Cup due to injury. If Neymar misses the 2026 World Cup, it will be really bad for the Brazil team. So the Brazil team should turn around from the way they performed in the World Cup qualifiers. Otherwise, 2026 will not bring much success for the Brazil team.

I'm not really sure if Brazil is really serious about recruiting Ancelotti. Throughout history, Brazil has never recruited a coach who is not from their own country. I am sure that with the large amount of talent that Brazil has, they will definitely recruit coaches from their country because if they recruit coaches from other countries, it will have an impact on the characteristics of Brazil's game and this will be detrimental to Brazil in the long run. Moreover, Ancelotti, who is from Italy, is clearly very different from the style of play between Italy and Brazil. Therefore, I am sure that the Brazilian football federation will be more careful in recruiting a new coach because the target is not just to qualify for the FIFA World Cup 2026, but how the new coach does not abandon the characteristics of the Brazilian game that they have maintained for years.

Unfortunately they do not have a proper manager to make them be better, they should have one but they do not right now. There are talks that Ancelotti considers a move there after his contract is up this year, and considering we are nearly at January and they haven't done anything about it, I can say that it's quite possible for something like that to happen as well. I believe that we need to reach to a point where they need to just focus on how they could improve and get better.

This is why I believe that we need to end up with a situation that could rely on Ancelotti and him coming there will change so much. He will not rely on any single player, he never does, he will find the best players and make that team as good as they could possibly be, and that's going to be a fine situation for them. I get that it is not that easy to handle, but it is not impossible for him to do it neither, this is a great football nation and he can get the most out of them.

Currently, as team Brazil is having some problems because overall if we check they are still producing one of the best soccer players in the world and dominance is not challengeable but sadly as team we are not having better results from them which is currently the biggest problem, and now they are going to have first non-Brazilian coach which will help them for having improvement into team, and they will be tried to have change of strategy because problem is too many star players are not able to creating room, and they mostly exposed which are not allowing to them for having better results.

Most chances in September they will give charge of coaching to Carlos Ancelotti which will stay for few years, and they will be able to have their dominance back into soccer world which is their trademark for decades.

The Brazilian team nowadays dropped a lot in performance unfortunately at a point they were classed sixth in the ranking in CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifiers out of 10 teams in total. At the last four games they collected only one point. You can imagine three successive defeats against medium teams a part from Argentina that are playing with them in that competition. You can imagine how bad their results will be if they were playing against European teams.
There is rumours about Ancelotti moving soon to train the Brazilian team. I think they should push for this to avoid seeing them playing bad in the future or even risking to be kicked from FIFA World Cup 2026 although this is hard to think about and unlikely to happen in my opinion.
