Italian legendary coach Carlo Ancelotti which is going to end his contract in 2026 could be 66 years old at the end of this contract and as he is already announced this is going to be his last job after this he loves to be stayed as retired which is not bad at all after having long list of successes which he achieves during his coaching career with no one having any hope he could be gone to Brazil for having any job because things are not ideal for working in this country with corrupt system is going to be collapsed which will bring more development ends, and we will have this team at their lowest level if they are not going to have fixed their problems.

It's almost more than two decades they are having no win which is surely going to be terrible with things are going more down day by day, and we are having no development for the better things here if this will be continued for some more time then surely we will be having another collapse.

Qualifying for the 2026 World Cup for the Asian zone looks quite interesting, but even if Asia sends their representatives to this most prestigious competition it will still never last long because it is quicker to be eliminated.
What interesting is the Indonesian National Team preparations are really starting in earnest because they will have two second round matches in June against Iraq and also the Philippines, Philippines it will obviously be an easy opponent but for Iraq it will be fierce match.
Indonesia has prepared by bringing in all its players, several neutralization players have also arrived to prepare with joint training, Indonesia is even preparing for test match against Tanzania before meeting Iraq.

Looking at the existing opportunities, it seems that Indonesia will be able to qualify and enter the third round, this opportunity will come if Indonesia manages to win one of the last two matches in the second round.
However, if it enters the third round, it could be threat for Indonesia because the team that will qualify for the third round are those who are really strong and have always been able to enter the World Cup group phase in every previous competition.

Ancelotti was rumored to be taking charge of the Brazil national team and there were rumors that Carlo Ancelotti would sign a contract with Brazil at the end of the season. However, after a few days, he surprised everyone by extending his contract with Real Madrid until 2025. Even if the contract is extended until 2025, the manager will have the opportunity to take charge of the Brazilian national team before 2026. Whether Carlo Ancelotti stays at Real Madrid or takes on a bigger challenge will depend entirely on him and we shouldn't listen to any rumors before we know for sure when that is confirmed.

It is practically impossible to end corruption in the CBF, the entity has been involved with this for many decades... In the early 2000s the coach was Emerson Leao and then Vanderlei Luxemburgo (the same one who coached Real Madrid) and they called up players from the his businessman friends to value transfers in the future... And not to mention that the former CBF presidents either went to jail or are in trouble with the law.... It is very difficult for a highly reputable European coach to want to come to Brazilian team knowing this.

The problem is that you can’t live endlessly on the baggage of the past - Brazil has no titles for a long time, so all this corruption will soon (or already) manage less money since the status is no longer what it once was.
As I understand it, the discussion about Ancelotti can end because he announced that Real will be the last club of his career, he will retire as soon as he finishes working there.

Tell me about some governments that provenly have not been involved in corruption when it comes to hosting events like World Cups. I am not freeing Brazil from blame here, but by now I doubt that any processes involving the FIFA are without corruption. Look at the World Cup 2006 in Germany and how many allegations there were in hindsight about corruption. In contrast to Brazil, there were no protests from poor people though.

I have just found this article and it seems that Brazil miscalculated some of the positive effects the World Cup might have on the economy. Additionally, World Cups are coming with long planning phases and in that year Brazil underwent very low economic growth, but the consequence couldn't be to cancel everything.

Corruption is one issue that I believe can hardly be solved. See how Infantino works and speaks and it was no different with Sepp Blatter. The system seems to be corrupt inside out. Economic distress in countries where these events take place is another issue and I think the biggest problem is not so much the event itself, but the preparations, building infrastructure under inhuman conditions and dumping wages. It's also about sustainability when stadiums that were newly built for the World Cup get torn down shortly after.

Next World Cup coming with a lot of negative buzz is probably the one in Saudi Arabia.

If it's true as you say then this is a really serious problem. I know Brazil is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Even the 2014 World Cup which was held in their country drew a lot of protests from the Brazilian people because the government was seen as preferring the World Cup to seeing many of its people suffer. But I never thought that the Brazilian football federation was also involved in corruption. Brazil produces many world class players, they are even the best in the world cup to date with five titles. I think it's because CBF really develops talented talent in their country. If they are also involved in a corruption scandal then I think Brazil will sink and they will no longer be one of the strongest football countries in the world.

Obviously, the game will be more interesting and pleasant for football-loving people. I hope will play 16 new teams. It will be the largest game in the world.

I very much agree that the best coach would be Ancelotti and surely Brazil needs a coach urgently, for now the Copa América is approaching and that will be crazy, so many will want to see which coach can make the difference for Brazil, that's how it will be , It is a good time for them to give a break to the qualifiers where Brazil is doing very poorly and that could mean that Brazil's qualification is in danger. Many of us have been following Brazil's performance, but it has been shown that the South American teams have risen a lot in level. Those who seem weak currently are very strong, I think everything will be seen in the Copa América and we can have a better scenario of how Brazil is doing.

I don't think any coach can do this while we all know how much Brazilian Federation is also involved in this dirty game I read most of the players are now invited by the sponsors which are having huge impact into this Federation, and they are controlling all things around this in Brazil which is having serious impact on their performance and things are not favorable for Carlos Ancelotti to join this team as coach and bring his reputation into bad way.
They are having too much money involved in this game and most of the Federation members are having personal links which works for the players those are called for the national teams through sponsors and investors if we have something about this surely changes will be happened.

So maybe to stop this corruption it’s worth hiring a big-name European coach who won’t play these games and break the system? I don’t remember when Brazil won anything, it’s time for them to seriously think about their strategies. I think if Ancelotti had agreed to lead the Brazilian national team, he would not have participated in these behind-the-scenes agreements.

Even though I see Ancelotti as a great coach, I still think that if he had accepted the position of coach of the Brazilian national team, he would have put his good image and good history of achievements in a bad position, that Because you don't need to be a super intelligent person to see that in the Brazilian national team, when the players are called up, they don't seem to have been chosen by the coaches, it seems that Brazil's highest football body imposes conditions on the national coach when it comes to the list of players. players who will take part in the national team's games, this probably happens because money is involved in the list of players called up, something like some kind of obscure agreement between the agents of famous players who play in the big teams with the directors of Brazil's highest football body

Recently has strong rumor with Carlo Ancelotti will be Brazil national team for Copa America 2024 after his contract expiring with Real Madrid at the end of this season, but Real Madrid make exceptional after extending Carlo Ancelotti contract and Brazil loss opportunity to sign Carlo Ancelotti for Copa America and World Cup qualifier.
For awhile, Brazil national team have forget with Carlo Ancelotti and focus with their manager Dorival Júnior although not too popular such as Carlo Ancelotti.
I don't think CBF will have plan for signing Carlo Ancelotti after his contract expiring with Real Madrid until 2026 if their manager Dorival Júnior success win Copa America 2024 and success make Brazil have impressive perform in FIFA World Cup 2026 Canada. Its important for Dorival Júnior proof him self is right manager for Brazil national team recently have decreased performance in last World Cup edition.

For me, Carlo Ancelotti just didn't coach the Brazilian team because the team is very bad and without many title ambitions... this is the worst generation of Brazilian players in the last 30 years... it would be professional madness for him to go to Brazil with this current team.... But, if the Brazilian team was really good and had the conditions to compete for titles, without a doubt he would be Brazil's coach, after all, which coach wouldn't want to lead a strong and competitive Brazilian team?

I don't know if Ancelotti has ever expressed his desire to coach the national team. But from the news I have read, it is said that Ancelotti has officially acknowledged that he has rejected Brazil's request to extend his contract with Real Madrid until 2026. This means that the contract will end when the 2026 World Cup starts. There is no reason for Ancelotti to coach the Brazilian national team after that because it means Don Carlo has to wait another 2 years for the 2028 Copa America and the 2030 World Cup.

Getting tickets for some matches will definitely be difficult especially semi finals or finals. In case of other match tickets, you don't have to get much pressure. But it is also true that those who are determined to watch the World Cup match will never give much priority to the ticket price. There is no difficulty in buying tickets except for certain scheduled matches from FIFA authorized resellers. And those who are unauthorized resellers must be careful otherwise you have to spend more money on the one hand and on the other hand there is doubt about whether the ticket is valid or whether the entry can be taken with that ticket or not. But usually those tickets are purchased at a much higher price than the real, so there is no need to cheat. The price of tickets increases for high profile concerts, the prices of World Cup tickets also increase similarly.

No matter how a team has good players that are well talented, they still need a good coach to achieve success, and not just any coach but a world class coach that will make a difference and know how to manage the talent and skill of these player to have a brilliant result. You made mentioned of Real Madrid, that is a very strong club with great players, that I will say they are better than Brazil national team, but they still need Ancelotti to guide and direct them by bringing out the potentials in them and improve their skills. You are right that Ancelotti will not become Brazil coach due to his commitment in Real Madrid, but Brazil also needs a professional coach for them to be like the Brazil of those days.

Nobody is doubting Ancelotti's quality as a coach and as a human being in general, but I think it is more about the plans someone like him might have for life. Ancelotti has never been a coach of a national team. A very long time ago he was once a co-coach for Italy, but I can imagine that his dream would still be to coach a team and a huge tournament like the World Cup, the EURO or the Copa and I understand that.

He once made a statement and said that he doesn't want to be an old grandpa still sitting on the bench. That's why this discussion came up about Brazil and I believe one Brazilian official said something about Ancelotti. As everyone knows, the media catches that and makes a rumor out of it. I don't know how close it has ever been between Brazil or Ancelotti, but there is a chance that he will finish his contract in 2026 and and then take over a team and play a EURO and a World Cup in 2028 and 2030. He is now going to turn 65 this year and that plan might be what he wants to do. I doubt that he will retire without ever coaching a national team.

I agree with you. If it is the group stage or quarterfinals I think it is not difficult to get tickets because every spectator just wants to watch their favorite team. When the match has entered the semifinals and finals, there is a possibility that tickets will be difficult to obtain and resellers can take advantage of this situation to make a profit. I have watched music concerts several times and I admit that it is more difficult to get tickets to a music concert, especially if it is a famous musician like Taylor Swift or Coldplay. In fact, resellers already have a queue list for tickets to be sold even before sales officially open.

FIFA needs re-sellers to sell the tickets around the world but what will be an obstacle is if you buy from re-sellers who are not authorized, usually tickets like that will be sold if it is difficult to get them, but I have never come across news where people who want to watch the World Cup have difficulty getting tickets so in the end they buy from unauthorized re-sellers at a higher price, I often read or see how music concert tickets are difficult to get because of limited quantities, while the world cup is always full of matches, and maybe what unauthorized re-sellers will sell is semifinal and final tickets because in the group stage there are many matches to choose from.
