The slap too much. Beaten 4-1 by Argentina on Tuesday (local time) in the qualifying match for the 2026 World Cup, Brazil saw its coach take the door. “” Dorival Junior is no longer in control of the Brazilian selection. Management thanks him and wishes him success for the rest of his career “Wrote the Brazilian football federation (CBF) in a statement on Friday.
In search of a new coach, Auriverde leaders may have already found the solution. According to Fabrizio Romano, specialized journalist Transfers, the Portuguese Jorge Jesus, 70, would have given his agreement to succeed his Brazilian colleague, 62.
Currently in office on the al-Hilal bench (club of Saudi Arabia), Jorge Jesus would arrive at the end of the season. The next Brazil match in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers is scheduled for June 4 in Ecuador, second in the ranking of these South America zone qualifications. Marquinhos and his teammates occupy fourth place.
Ancelotti, it's over
In this case, the hypothesis (or fantasy) Carlo Ancelotti would be definitively finished. The name of the Italian coach of Real Madrid had circulated again, as has been the case since last season.
The Merengues coach seems motivated to extend an additional season with the Spanish club. The latter will also compete in the Club World Cup next July.
