World Cup 2026: Ancelotti wants Kaká as assistant coach!

Recently appointed as head coach of the Brazilian national team, Carlo Ancelotti is already shaping his staff for the 2026 World Cup.

One of the first names to emerge as a potential member of the Italian tactician’s entourage is none other than Ricardo Kaká, Brazilian football legend and former AC Milan superstar. According to CNN Brasil, the 2007 Ballon d’Or winner has been approached to take up the role of assistant coach with the Seleção.

This choice is far from random. Ancelotti and Kaká shared many years of success together, first at Milan and then at Real Madrid.

A strong bond of trust has developed between the two, forged by their shared history and mutual admiration.

With this experienced and close-knit duo, Ancelotti hopes to breathe new life into the Brazilian national team as they chase a sixth World Cup title.

Now all that remains is to see whether Kaká will officially accept the role and join this new adventure. One thing is certain: the legendary number 22 could cast an inspiring shadow over Brazil’s ambitions at the 2026 World Cup.
