His contract will run until the 2026 World Cup , with an option to extend it until 2030 .

Ancelotti becomes the first foreign coach in the 111-year history of the Brazilian national team.

CBF President Ednaldo Rodrigues emphasized that Ancelotti 's incorporation represents a strategic decision to return Brazil to the forefront of world football.

During his final spell with Real Madrid, Ancelotti managed to win multiple titles, including the Club World Cup and the UEFA Champions League .

In the 2023-24 season, the white team was crowned champion of La Liga and the Champions League , beating Borussia Dortmund in the Final .

These achievements cemented Ancelotti's position as one of the most successful coaches in the club's history.

The Brazilian national team is going through a period of inconsistent performance in the South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup .

In the first eight matches, the Canarinha accumulated three wins, one draw and four losses , placing themselves in fifth place with 10 points.

This performance has raised concerns, as Brazil had not lost three official matches in a row since 2001 .

With Ancelotti 's arrival, the national team is expected to regain its competitive level and consolidate a team with identity and world champion ambitions.
