On the eve of the World Cup, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) renewed head coach Carlo Ancelotti’s contract. From now on, the manager’s new deal runs through the 2030 World Cup.
“A year ago, I arrived in Brazil. From the very first minute, I understood what football means to this country. For a year now, we have been working to take 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 are going together to the 2030 World Cup. I want to thank the CBF for its trust. Thank you, Brazil, for the warm welcome and for all the affection,” said Ancelotti.
With his contract renewed, Ancelotti will announce the final list of players called up for the 2026 World Cup this Monday (18). The expectation is that at least three Flamengo players will be in the final squad.
Ancelotti has already said that Danilo will be at the World Cup. In addition, Alex Sandro and Léo Pereira have a strong chance of being called up to the Brazilian National Team. Finally, Pedro is an outside shot, but he still dreams of being called up by the Italian coach.
Meanwhile, Flamengo are preparing for their next match of the season. This Thursday (14), the Rubro-Negro face Vitória again at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Barradão, in the second leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil.
So, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Vitória through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Sportv (cable TV) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Copa do Brasil match.
