Carlo Ancelotti will be Brazil coach from the 2024 Copa America, once his contract with Real Madrid comes to an end. Here is what a source from the Brazilian Football Confederation told AFP on Tuesday. The CBF said minutes earlier in a statement that Fluminense’s Fernando Diniz would lead the five-time world champion side until Carlo Ancelotti takes over as manager.
The 64-year-old Italian manager is under contract with Real Madrid until June 2024 and he has publicly stated that he wants to continue until then. This announcement, made by a high-level source within the CBF who did not wish to be identified, puts an end to months of negotiations between the Italian and the boss of the Brazilian federation, Ednaldo Rodrigues, who has always considered Carlo Ancellotti as his preferred option.

AN HOUR AGO
Brazilian coach Tite, who had been in place since 2016, left his post following the defeat once morest Croatia in the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Qatar in December. Carlo Ancelotti will become the fourth foreigner to take the reins of the Seleçao, the first in almost 60 years.
The Italian had however declared on several occasions that he would retire following this last stint at Real, following nearly thirty years on the sidelines. But he finally let himself be seduced by Brazil, to take control of a Seleçao which is no longer a dream. The challenge is daunting: the five-time world champions are chasing following their sixth star in more than twenty years and their last title in 2002. Until Carlo Ancelotti takes office, Fernando Diniz will be divided between the technical management of Fluminense and the Brazilian selection.
