Carlo Ancelotti is very close to extending his term on the bench of the Brazilian national team! According to international media, the Brazilian Football Federation is preparing a colossal offer for the Italian, which would make him the best-paid coach in the world.
The Brazilians are willing to offer Ancelotti a new contract that runs until 2030. They are also offering him an even higher salary than the €10m per season he currently earns. The current commitment expires in July 2026, after the World Cup.
Brazil sees Ancelotti as the coach who can bring the world title
The 66-year-old is considered the ideal man to restore the Selecao's lost glory, and the federation does not want to risk a moment of his return to a club team.
Brazil has not won the World Cup since 2002, the final in which Ronaldo Nazario decided the duel with Germany, score 2-0. For 24 years, the national team with five world titles has been dreaming of another championship crown, and Ancelotti is perceived as the perfect man for the job.
Carlo Ancelotti started solidly on the bench for Brazil. He took over the national team in May 2025 and has managed 8 matches so far: 4 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. It is currently preparing for the 2026 World Cup, where Brazil are in Group C alongside Morocco, Haiti and Scotland.
According to Diario AS, the Italian technician is determined to continue and the signing of the new contract would only be a matter of time.
In the 8 matches he played on the bench for Brazil, Carlo Ancelotti managed to win half of them. However, only four of these matches were official, for the qualification for the World Cup in 2026. There, the team prepared by the former Real Madrid coach has two wins, a draw and a defeat, 0-1 against Bolivia.
