Ancelotti is pleased with the Brazil national team.
The Italian coach feels at ease in Brazil, and his family is content there, making him open to the idea of a contract extension with the team.
Details: In a recent interview with ESPN, Carlo Ancelotti expressed his willingness to extend his contract with the national team following the 2026 World Cup. He stated that Brazil feels like home to him and is ready to discuss continuing his role with the squad.
“Yes, I wanted to coach the Brazil national team. Preparing for the World Cup with Brazil is something truly special. I signed a one-year contract. After the World Cup, everything will be open for discussion. At that moment, it felt right to sign for a year. I have no objections if the CBF wants to extend. No problem at all. As I’ve said, I’m very happy here, and my family is happy too. We can think it over. We have time to talk; I’m not against staying on. It would be wonderful to stay until 2030,” Ancelotti said.
The Italian manager took over the Seleção in June 2025, initially signing a one-year contract.
Reminder: Ancelotti also shared his views on Neymar’s chances of participating in the 2026 World Cup.
