Brazil is still looking for a coach, 6 months after the 2022 World Cup. The Seleçao needs a heavyweight for the job. Carlo Ancelotti has been waiting for weeks and it is finally José Mourinho who could take advantage of it.
Brazil has somewhat lost its greatness on the football planet. What better than a big name on the bench to wake up the Seleçao? After exhausting internal options in recent years (Dunga, Luiz Felipe Scolari, Tite and current interim Ramon Menezes), the Brazilians want a foreign technician. They thought of Joachim Low or Zinedine Zidane but the one who stood out as obvious was Carlo Ancelotti. However, the Italian is still coach of Real Madrid and he wants to complete his current contract, which expires in 2024. Can Brazil wait a year before his arrival? Not really given the tactical issues of the national team.
Mourinho acclaimed by the president of the federation
While waiting for a change from Ancelotti, Brazil must study other avenues. This seems to be the case with particular interest in José Mourinho. Ednaldo Rodrigues, the president of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) confirmed it and how. Asked by the Spanish daily AS, he praised ” the Special One ” admitting half-heartedly that he would be an ideal candidate for the position of Brazil coach.

” I really like Mourinho, he is a great coach, with an important history and he has in his favor the testimony of several Brazilian players who speak very well of him “, he dropped in an interview. A way perhaps to change tack for the Brazilian federation. However, it will take a little more to convince the demanding Portuguese, still under contract until 2024 with Roma. Although he has shown signs of weariness at Roma, PSG can testify that Mourinho is anything but easy to lure. In recent weeks, there was even more talk of a contract extension with the Wolf, even if we must not swear anything with the Special One. In any case, the court that Brazil makes him should not leave him indifferent, he who would see himself being crowned world champion to expand his incredible record. This would allow him to collaborate with Neymar, who has almost as many questions about his future at PSG as about the long term with Selaçao.
