The landing at Galeão is scheduled for 8:10 pm.

Ancelotti is traveling with his wife, Mariann Barrena McClay, his stepdaughter Chloe Victoria McClay, and Paul Clement and Francesco Mauri, who are part of the new technical committee.

Diego Fernandes, the businessman who negotiated his hiring on behalf of the CBF, is also on the flight, and he is the one who appears in the photo released by journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Officially, the businessman has no connection with the top Brazilian football entity, but has close relationships with directors and players, according to information from the Brazilian press.

According to Lauro Jardim, Carlo Ancelotti's presentation will be held in the main hall of the Hotel Grand Hyatt, in Barra da Tijuca, to accommodate more people – about 250 journalists are already registered to cover the event, including professionals from various countries.
