It seems that the Brazilian national team is again looking for a coach, only 18 months after the appointment of Junior Dorival in this position, after a stinging 4-1 defeat against Argentina on Tuesday.

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti would have become the privileged target of the Brazilian football confederation (CBF) for the second time. After the defeat, it was reported in Brazil that the president of the CBF, Ednaldo Rodrigues, wanted to recruit the Italian. Ronaldo Nazario said he contributed to the organization of negotiations between the CBF and Ancelotti in 2023. It was then said that Brazil had contacted Ancelotti after the defeat.

According to Uol Esporte, Brazil is in the process of dismissing Dorival and would hold a final meeting with the veteran coach before formalizing the situation. For his part, in Spain, Alberto Cerruti, friend and journalist of Ancelotti, noted a change of attitude of the Real Madrid coach concerning the resumption of the Brazil team compared to the previous year. The couple dined Wednesday evening in Madrid, and Cerutti told Cadena Ser that he was more open to this idea.

“It's an endless story. A year ago, he told me that he didn't want to go to Brazil ”explained Cerruti, while specifying that the ” dream Ancelotti was to stay in Santiago Bernabéu forever, because of his affection for this position and the city. “” But beware, he does not exclude this idea. This is the novelty. The first option is Madrid, but if unfortunately his relationship with Madrid ends, he will not exclude going to Brazil. »»

It should be noted that Encelotti not denied having negotiated with Ronaldo and Brazil in 2023. His statements that Real Madrid is his priority join Cerruti's statements; The key question then becomes that of the results.
