The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has taken a historic step to ensure the stability of its sporting project. The president of the organization, Samir Xaud, confirmed an agreement with Carlo Ancelotti for the Italian coach to lead the cycle towards the 2030 World Cup. Although the current contract was set to expire after this year’s World Cup, the leadership has decided to bet on long-term continuity.

Xaud emphasized that the decision aims to avoid short-termism and prioritize solid work. “We believe that one year is too little to bear fruit; we have the best raw material in the world with this coach,” stated the president. The agreement, which already has the coach’s approval, is only pending bureaucratic details before its official signing.

The best-paid in the world

With this four-year extension, Ancelotti will maintain his salary status, consolidating himself as the highest-paid national team coach on the planet. The strategist had previously expressed his desire to remain at the helm of the “Amarelinha” to cement his legacy in South American football.
