Brazil: Carlo Ancelotti has made a decision about his future

Speaking to the press this Thursday, the technical director of the Italian Football Federation, Paolo Maldini, confirmed that they had approached Carlo Ancelotti.

The Brazil head coach was approached for the position of Italy's national team manager. However, unsurprisingly, the Italian tactician has no intention of leaving his post at the helm of Brazil.

🚨🇧🇷 AGORA:

Vampeta stated that Carlo Ancelotti's wife allegedly spoke to him, encouraging him to step down from leading the Brazilian national team, arguing that since he's older, it would be better to enjoy life.

Indeed, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano this Friday, the former Real Madrid coach intends to honor his commitment with the Seleção, leading the team at the 2028 Copa America and the 2030 World Cup. It's a logical choice for Ancelotti, who remains fully invested in the Brazilian project.
