Ancelotti will lead Brazil to the World Cup title – A new beginning!

Brazil beat Paraguay 1-0 and qualified early for the 2026 World Cup, which will take place in the USA, Mexico and Canada. This reports ZVW.

Ancelotti, who celebrated his 66th birthday that day, is the Selecao's fourth coach in just two years and has accepted the challenge of leading Brazil to their sixth World Cup title. After his time at Real Madrid, where he enjoyed great success, including five Champions League titles, he wants to bring the joy of football back. “There is still a lot of work ahead of us,” he made clear, emphasizing that the team must continue to improve. Brazil is currently in third place in South American qualifying with a total of 25 points, tied with second-place Ecuador.

The last World Cup participation was in 2022, in which Brazil were eliminated in the quarter-finals, disappointing fans and increasing pressure on Ancelotti.

Ancelotti's plan includes an all-round analysis and a squad nomination with around 70 potential candidates for the World Cup. This also includes superstar Neymar, whose fitness is currently questionable, but Ancelotti remains optimistic. “We need a strong squad that consists of a mix of experienced players and promising talents,” Ancelotti continued, reported Sky.
