Carlo Ancelotti has renewed his contract with Brazil for another four years through to the 2030 World Cup. The Italian took on the Selecao job after leaving Real Madrid at the end of the 2024/25 season. Former Chelsea and Everton boss Ancelotti guided Brazil into this summer’s finals despite slipping to six defeats during the CONMEBOL qualifying campaign, finishing in fifth place.
Brazil have been drawn into Group C, alongside Scotland, Morocco and Haiti, as Ancelotti looks to guide them to a first World Cup success since 2002. “I arrived in Brazil a year ago. From the first minute, I understood what football means to this country,” Ancelotti said on the Brazilian Football Confederation website.
“For a year, we have been working to bring the Brazilian national team back to the top of the world, but the CBF and I want more – more victories, more time, more work. “We are very happy to announce that we will continue together for another four years. We will go together until the 2030 World Cup.
“I want to thank the CBF for their trust. Thank you, Brazil, for the warm welcome and for all the affection. ” CBF president Samir Xaud felt the decision for Ancelotti to stay on was “a historic day” for Brazilian football.
