Ancelotti becomes the new five-star Brazilian coach and will lead the team to the sixth World Cup

9:38pm, 14 May 2025【Football】

The Brazilian Football Association announced late at night on May 12 that Real Madrid's current coach Ancelotti has become the new coach of the Brazilian national team. Although Ancelotti's contract with Real Madrid will expire on June 30, 2026, and Real Madrid's club has not announced its breakup with Ancelotti, the Brazilian Football Association can't wait to announce the new coach Ancelotti.

Ancelotti led the team to win championships in the five major European leagues, Serie A, Premier League, Ligue 1, La Liga and Bundesliga, and is the only history, so it is called the "head coach" by fans. Ancelotti has led AC Milan and Real Madrid to win five Champions League titles, ranking first in history.

Ancelotti was a star midfielder in the age of players. He once created a glorious era in AC Milan with the "Three Musketeers of the Netherlands" Van Basten, Gulit and Rijkaard, but his later coaching results were far better than those of the "Three Musketeers of the Netherlands". Compared with world-class coaches Mourinho and Klopp who have never played in top football clubs in their players' age, Ancelotti's resume is perfect. If he can lead the five-star Brazil, which has won the most World Cup championships, win the 2026 World Cup championship, Ancelotti's coaching career will be more perfect.

The Brazilian Football Association wrote in a statement: "Carlo Ancelotti - synonymous with historic victory, was officially announced as the new head coach of the Brazilian national team by Brazilian Football Association Chairman Ednaldo Rodriguez on May 12. The coach with the most brilliant record in the world will take charge of the Samba Legion until the end of the 2026 World Cup, and will lead the team to compete in two World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Paraguay next month."

The South American Football Federation issued a statement: "Big players cooperate! Brazilian football welcomes a new coach, welcome to South America, Carlo Ancelotti."

This season of La Liga will end in the early morning of May 26. Ancelotti will then quickly switch roles and officially report to the Brazilian national team. This will be his first time in his coaching career as the head coach of the national team. In the 2026 World Cup South America qualifiers standings, Brazil temporarily ranked fourth, and there was little pressure to advance. The top six of the 10 teams in South America directly advanced to the World Cup and played in the playoffs in the seventh place. On June 6, Brazil challenged Ecuador away in the World Cup qualifiers; on June 11, Brazil faced Paraguay at home in the World Cup qualifiers.

After aged Ancelotti led Real Madrid to win the Champions League last season, rumors of his scandal with Brazil were rumored, but Real Madrid club chairman Florentino has never agreed to release him. Ancelotti has already won all the results of the club's coach. Being the Brazilian team's coach is a huge temptation for him, which has more or less affected his concentration this season. In addition, Real Madrid has a full range of wounded soldiers and has a weakness of "top-heavy feet and light waist" in the lineup. Real Madrid has been missing in the Champions League, La Liga, Spanish King's Copa del Rey, and Spanish Super Cup this season. Real Madrid was defeated by Barcelona four times in the Spanish national derby this season, which is even more disgraceful for Real Madrid. Florentino had long been thinking about replacing Ancelotti, but it has not announced.

The Brazilian Football Association announced at this time that Ancelotti became the new coach of the Brazilian team, which will further affect Ang’s concentration in Real Madrid. In the early morning of May 15, if Real Madrid cannot defeat Mallorca at home in La Liga, they will send Barcelona to the La Liga championship in advance, making Barcelona's away derby against Espanyol the exhibition match in the early morning of May 16. Even if Real Madrid defeats Mallorca, Barcelona only needs to defeat Espanyol to win the championship two rounds ahead of schedule.

The situation in La Liga can allow Ancelotti to enter the role of Brazil's new coach in advance. Brazilian internationals such as Vinicius, Rodrigo, and Militon in Real Madrid have long been determined that Ancelotti is the Brazilian coach. Real Madrid left winger Vinicius was named the 2024 World Footballer and ranked second in the 2024 Golden Ball Awards.

Barcelona left winger Rafinia made great contributions in the "four kills" of Real Madrid this season and became one of the popular candidates for the Golden Ball Award this year. He competed with Vinicius for the main position in the Brazilian national team. Ancelotti needs to solve the coexistence problem of two left wingers Mbappe and Vinicius at Real Madrid, and the Brazilian team also needs to solve the coexistence problem of two super left wingers.
