Humiliated by Argentina last night (4-1), Brazil had a dark night and their coach Dorival Junior is seriously weakened. Brazil is currently looking for a replacement and has decided to go on the attack for Carlo Ancelotti, the Real Madrid coach. And the Italian coach is not opposed to this interest.
The end is looming for Dorival Junior at the helm of Brazil. Humiliated 4-1 by Argentina on Tuesday night, the Brazilian coach has once again disappointed at the helm of the Seleçao. This historic setback has further weakened his position, and his departure seems inevitable. Coaches like Jorge Jesus (Al-Hilal), Filipe Luis (Flamengo), and Renato Gaucho (free agency) have been mentioned, but the CBF’s priority is quite different.
As in 2023 following Brazil’s failed World Cup, with a quarterfinal exit, the federation continues to dream of bringing in Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti. According to Globo Esporte, the CBF resumed contact with the Italian coach today to entrust him with the reins of the national team. CBF president Ednaldo Rodrigues is currently assessing his situation, and initial discussions have been positive.
Brazil is all-in on Carlo Ancelotti
Receptive to the Brazilian project, Carlo Ancelotti is nevertheless under contract with Real Madrid until the end of the season. The season will be long, with the Champions League, La Liga, and Copa del Rey to play for, as well as the Club World Cup, which will take place between June and July. Carlo Ancelotti has already warned the CBF that they will have to wait until the end of this competition to learn more about his future, given that Real Madrid could extend his contract for another season.
This situation would prevent any possibility of seeing Carlo Ancelotti on the Brazil bench next June for the next international break and the matches against Ecuador and Paraguay. This therefore presents a headache for Brazil, with the retention of Dorival Junior until June or the appointment of another interim manager. Making Carlo Ancelotti its priority, Brazil intends once again to play its cards to the full before considering another coach. While there is optimism, this remains a risky choice since the first time it ended in failure when Dorival Junior was finally removed…
