“Don Carlo” reach agreement to become new Brazil boss.

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has reportedly reached an agreement to become the new head coach of the Brazil National Team from June.

Crucially,Brazil have made it clear they want Ancelotti in place to lead the team in June’s World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Paraguay .

It’s a good and interesting move—both for him and for the Brazilian national team.

1.Pros for Brazil:

Ancelotti brings elite club-level experience and man-management skills.

He has a proven record of winning with different squads and adapting to various football cultures.

Brazil could benefit from his tactical flexibility and calm leadership, especially after a period of inconsistency post-Tite.

Risks:

He has never managed a national team before, especially not one with the intense cultural and emotional expectations of Brazil.

Club and international football are very different in rhythm and dynamics—Ancelotti’s strength is in day-to-day work with players, which he won’t get here.

Overall: It’s a high-upside move if both sides adapt well. Ancelotti has the pedigree to handle it—but success will hinge on how he connects with the Brazilian style and pressure.

2.He’s one of the few managers in world football who:

▪︎Manages egos without confrontation: He doesn’t clash with stars—he earns their respect quietly.

▪︎Lets talent flourish: Instead of rigid systems, he builds around players’ strengths. That’s crucial for Brazil, where flair and individuality are part of the identity.

▪︎Has deep experience with South Americans: At Real Madrid, he’s handled Vinícius Jr., Rodrygo, Militão, Casemiro, James Rodríguez, etc., all of whom speak highly of his man-management.

3.He’s won everything at the club level:

▪︎Champions League (4x)

▪︎League titles in Italy, England, France, Germany, and Spain (a unique achievement)

▪︎Numerous domestic cups and Super Cups

But the one major title missing is the FIFA World Cup—which only national teams can win.

He never managed Italy or another national team, and didn’t win the World Cup as a player either (he was part of the 1986 squad, but Italy were eliminated early). So, winning the World Cup with Brazil in 2026 would be the perfect capstone to one of the most decorated managerial careers ever.

It’s like completing a final level in a legendary game.
