Carlo Ancelotti, the new head coach of the Brazil national team, has laid out his plans for the Selecao’s style of play while he is in charge.
He laughed and remarked, “My Brazil will play like Real Madrid, but not like this year’s Madrid – more like last year’s Madrid,” alluding to the 2023–2024 campaign in which Real Madrid won La Liga and the Champions League under his leadership.
The Brazilian Football Confederation has announced Ancelotti’s appointment, which is a big change as he departs Real Madrid to become manager. Ancelotti, who is renowned for his tactical adaptability and success with players like Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo who will now play for him internationally aims to combine Brazil’s flair with Madrid’s possession-based, offensive style of play.
Fans are excited to watch how he changes his thinking when he makes his team debut against Ecuador on June 6 in the World Cup qualifiers.
This decision comes after Brazil’s setbacks under temporary managers, and Ancelotti’s track record with varied teams heightens hopes for a comeback before the 2026 World Cup.
