Three-time Champions League winner Carlo Ancelotti is expected to take over as Brazil’s national manager at the end of the 2024-2025 La Liga season.
According to The Athletic, Carlo Ancelotti, one of the most prestigious managers in the world, is now expected to leave his head coach position at Real Madrid to join the Brazil National Team.
The Italian manager is thinking of taking on a new challenge with Brazil’s National Team, which could add to his glorious career as a football manager.
Carlo Ancelotti’s first two seasons at Real Madrid were very successful as the 64-year-old manager was able to win 2 UEFA Champions League and 2 La Liga Titles. The Italian manager’s glorious feat adds to the club’s historic trophy wins.
Despite his successful seasons with Real Madrid, the Italian manager’s current season with the Los Blancos has been far from worse. The manager has failed to reach the Champions League semi-finals. And his tactics after the joining of French superstar Kylian Mbappé have been questioned frequently.
Under the guidance of Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid has suffered humiliating defeats against AC Milan, Liverpool, Barcelona, and Arsenal this season.
The fanbase has mixed opinions, while some fans believe the decline in his Whites performance is long-term injuries of Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao. Some fans blame the manager because of his in-game tactics.
Real Madrid has suffered this season with constant injuries, but Ancelotti’s tactics and squad rotation have also been questioned many times throughout the season. Despite the current struggles of Carlo Ancelotti with Los Blancos, his previous victories with the club will always be remembered by Madridistas.
The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has been trying to bring Carlo Ancelotti as the head coach of the National Team since last season. If this move becomes successful, then Carlo would become the first foreign manager to coach the Brazilian National Team since 1965.
Brazil, a five-time World Cup winner, has been struggling to win a major trophy for a few years. Despite a star-studded team, Brazil’s recent performance has been below par in most of the matches. Ancelotti’s experience and tactics might help Brazil to restore its prestige in football if appointed this season.
