Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has been confirmed as the new manager of Brazil National Team, confirmed CBF on Monday, May 12. The confirmation of the decision comes in merely a day after his side were blown away by FC Barcelona in the El Clasico on Sunday to extend their lead on top of the table of La Liga to 7 points.

With three games to go, Real Madrid's title defence has all but come to an end, and with that result, the club will finish their 2024/25 season trophyless.

"The CBF is proud to confirm that Carlo Ancelotti will become the next head coach of the Brazilian national football team.

His official start date May 26th, 2025."

"Carlo Ancelotti arrives as the first foreign manager in the history of the Selecao.
