Brazilian FA president Ednaldo Rodrigues has reiterated that he wants to appoint Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti as the head coach of the Brazil national team and says he expects discussions to take place this week.
Ednaldo Rodrigues, the president of the Brazilian FA, has once again stated that he wants to appoint Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti as the new head coach of the Brazil national team.
Brazil had been linked to Ancelotti several months ago, however the Italian said he’d honour the final year of his contract with Los Blancos.
His contract runs until the summer of 2024, and Rodrigues has not ruled out waiting until then to appoint their number one candidate for the role.
“In that case (waiting until 2024), it will not be a decision that I make by my own, I have to listen and discuss with our board and with the players, because they need to be heard,” Rodrigues told the media.
“The decision has to be in sync with what the players think. So it’s something we will have to discuss in the future.
“But we have a clear objective (hiring Ancelotti) and we are going after this objective.
“I will stay in Spain until June 18 and we have a couple of meetings aligned. I can’t say publicly that it’s with Ancelotti himself, but we hope to go back to Brazil with a more clear message regarding him.”
Ramon Menezes is the current interim manager of the national team after being appointed back in February following the departure of Tite.
Tite’s six-year tenure as his nation’s boss came to a sour end after Brazil went crashing out in the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup to Croatia.
