Carlo Ancelotti opened up about the future of the National Team and his own future.

In a press conference this Monday (17), the Italian commented on the possible renewal with the Brazilian Football Confederation.

The coach has a contract with the CBF until the end of the 2026 World Cup.

“We haven’t talked, but it’s possible, yes. I feel very good here, I don’t have any other ideas besides being here with Brazil right now. For it to continue, both the CBF and I have to want it. We’re not in a hurry to do it, but if the idea is to continue, there’s no problem.”

In the end, he even joked about the possibility of renewal depending on what happens at the World Cup.

“The truth is that the contract before the World Cup is cheaper, and afterwards it can be much more expensive,” said the Italian.

Ancelotti also mentioned Neymar’s situation, who has not yet had an opportunity with him.

“Neymar is on the list of players who could be at the World Cup. There are six months left until the final list, and we have to observe him and others. We must avoid mistakes in the final list.”

It’s worth remembering that UOL Esporte reported on the Italian’s plan to have the Santos player.

He, however, would not arrive as an undisputed starter due to the coach’s tactical ideas.
