Ancelotti: “I’m Gonna Coach Brazil from May 26. Like Everything in Life, Things Come to an End”
In a major development that has stirred the football world, Carlo Ancelotti has officially confirmed that he will take over as the head coach of the Brazilian national team starting May 26. The legendary Italian manager, who has enjoyed an illustrious career across Europe’s top clubs, made the announcement with a touch of nostalgia and professionalism.
“I’m gonna coach Brazil from May 26. Like everything in life, things come to an end. I enjoyed my time here,” Ancelotti stated, marking the conclusion of his current tenure, widely believed to be with Real Madrid, although the coach did not name the club directly in his statement.
Ancelotti’s time in Madrid has been filled with notable successes, including Champions League glory and domestic triumphs. Known for his calm demeanor, tactical flexibility, and ability to manage high-profile squads with grace, his departure is seen as the end of an era by many fans.
The move to Brazil signals a bold new chapter in Ancelotti’s career — one that aligns with the Brazilian Football Confederation’s (CBF) ambition to return the Seleção to global dominance. The five-time World Cup winners have struggled in recent tournaments, and Ancelotti’s appointment is viewed as a step toward revitalization ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
His experience, multilingual communication skills, and rapport with Brazilian players from his time in European clubs could serve as key assets in this transition. Ancelotti is expected to bring a blend of discipline and creative freedom to a squad known for its flair and passion.
As May 26 approaches, anticipation is building both in Brazil and across the footballing world. While fans of his current club may feel a sense of loss, the global football community eagerly awaits how “Mister Ancelotti” will reshape and lead one of the sport’s most iconic national teams.
With this shift, Carlo Ancelotti not only closes one legendary chapter but begins another — on the biggest international stage of them all.
