It has been a rough period for Brazil, especially for their star player, Neymar Jr. Their recent draw against Venezuela in the World Cup qualifier has flamed many questions and raised concerns about the performance of the Al Hilal star. On top of that, Brazil is still searching for a new manager. And now, their ideal candidate, Carlo Ancelotti, has finally given his verdict, adding more uncertainty to Brazil’s situation.

Brazil is currently under interim manager Fernando Diniz. They have been under this temporary management since their previous coach, Tite, stepped down after a disappointing World Cup campaign. The search for a permanent manager continues, with the most likely candidate being Real Madrid‘s coach, Carlo Ancelotti.

Carlo Ancelotti gives his stance on managing Brazil

Ancelotti took over as Real Madrid’s manager in 2021 and led the team to win their 14th UEFA Champions League title. This season, Los Blancos has been performing exceptionally well and currently leads the La Liga table. Reports have also been circulating that the 64-year-old may leave Madrid to take on the managerial role for Brazil.

However, Ancelotti recently addressed these rumors in his talk with Radio 1. He stated, “Agreement with Brazil? It’s all about rumors, links… I feel very good at Real Madrid as things stand.” The 64-year-old further assured, “We started our season in excellent way and we hope to keep going at same level”.
