CBF president hopes to renew with Ancelotti after the World Cup | OneFootball

The president of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), Samir Xaud, said this Tuesday that he hopes to renew the contract of the Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti so that he continues to lead the National Team after the 2026 World Cup.

Ancelotti, 66, took over the position last June, amid Brazil's poor campaign in the South American Qualifiers.

“One year is very little to develop work that truly bears fruit,” Xaud told journalists at the Rio Innovation Week event in Rio de Janeiro.

The official confirmed that talks are already underway to renew with Ancelotti: “I have great faith in the work he is doing with the Brazilian National Team and, trusting in that, we have started this renewal conversation.”

In an interview broadcast on Friday in Spain with former Argentine player Jorge Valdano, Ancelotti expressed his desire to remain in the position for another four years.

“I think I will renew,” said the Italian on that occasion.

Brazil shares Group C of the World Cup with Morocco, Scotland, and Haiti, which will be held from June 11 to July 19 in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

Before the World Cup, the National Team will play friendly matches in March against France and Croatia and in June against Egypt.
