Ancelotti jokes about Brazil future with deal ending after Copa | OneFootball

Carlo Ancelotti's work in Brazil has pleased the Brazilians so far. With a contract only until the end of the World Cup in 2026, the Italian looks favorably on continuing for another four years at the helm of the Brazilian National Team and spoke about the matter at Monday's press conference.

“It is possible (renewal). I feel very good here, I have no other idea but to continue here with the National Team. It's an agreement that depends on two parties, mine and the CBF's. We are not in a hurry, but the idea might be to continue with the National Team. The contract before the World Cup was cheaper and, hopefully, after the World Cup, it will be more expensive (laughs),” said Ancelotti.

Gaining Space in International Media

Brazil's good performances under Ancelotti have gained notoriety in the international media. For the coach, the fame is good for the National Team, but he stated that there is still much work to be done.

“Usually, people are afraid of monsters (laughs), which is good. We haven't awakened anything; we are working hard to perform well in the World Cup. I think we are in a good rhythm. Until March, I can change the players, but I trust the clubs and believe the athletes will arrive in good shape for the World Cup,” concluded Ancelotti.

This Tuesday, Brazil will play its last match in 2025. In a preparatory friendly for the World Cup, the National Team will face Tunisia at 4:30 PM (Brasília time) at the Decathlon Arena in Lille, France.
