Brazil ‘best team in the world’ – new boss Ancelotti

Carlo Ancelotti, the coach of New Brazil, stated that he is “honoured and proud to lead the world’s best team” and wants to see the World Cup win in 2026.

In a press conference held at the headquarters of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), the 65-year-old was officially appointed as Brazil’s head.

After four years as Real Madrid’s manager, the Italian has recently come to Selecao. In his two years in charge, he has won the Champions League three times, as well as the La Liga title twice.

Ancelotti also helped AC Milan win two European titles, including the Premier League and FA Cup with Chelsea and the French and German domestic titles with Paris St-Germain and Bayern Munich, respectively.

He said, “I have a significant job ahead of me.” “The challenge is great, I’m delighted. This team and I have always been very close. We’ll work to reclaim Brazil as the world’s champion.

Brazil has qualified for the World Cup five times, with the most recent triumph coming in 2002. Ancelotti’s first two games with them qualify for the South American World Cup.

Five days later, they travel to Sao Paulo to face Ecuador at home, followed by a home game against Paraguay.

Former Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari welcomed Ancelotti, who took his place after being humiliated by Argentina in a 4-1 defeat, which is the latest in a line-up of subpar results.

With four matches left, Brazil is fourth in the South American World Cup, with the top six teams earning direct entry into the competition from the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

For his first World Cup qualifiers of the week, Ancelotti has chosen Casemiro and Richarlison from Manchester United.

Since their team lost to Uruguay in October 2023 with a 2-0 defeat, the pair has not played for their nation.

Alisson, Fulham midfielder Andreas Pereira, Bruno Guimaraes, Gabriel Martinelli of Arsenal, Matheus Cunha of Wolves, Andreas Pereira, Andreas Pereira, and Fulham goalkeeper Alisson are also members of the 25-man group.

Antony, who is currently on loan at Real Betis from Manchester United, has also been chosen for the Spanish side’s Wednesday conference league match against Chelsea.

Although he made a substitute appearance for Santos on Sunday in their 1-0 win over Vitoria in Brazil’s Serie A, striker Neymar has been ruled out as he recovers from a thigh injury he sustained in April.
