A little more than two months before the start of the 2026 World Cup, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) decided to renew Carlo Ancelotti's contract at the head of the Brazil's national team. Although the official signature remains, the new contract, which will run until the 2030 World Cup, has already been agreed and only administrative details remain for its
announcement.
According to information released by ESPN Brasil, the current link, effective until July of this year, will be extended for four more seasons under a particular scheme: two initial years and an automatic renewal for another two, a formula used to comply with Brazilian labor regulations.
The management considers signing as a formality. “It's been well discussed, we spoke before leaving Brazil, we spoke personally, thatwhen we returned from the FIFA Date we would sign the contract for another period,” said the president of the entity Samir Xaud a couple of days ago. Along the same lines, Ancelotti himself had anticipated his intention to continue: "The CBF has no problem renewing, I have no problems either
.” Ancelotti will have a contract until the 2030 World Cup, with a salary of close to 10 million dollars a year
The agreement also consolidates the Italian as the highest-paid coach in the history of the Brazilian national team, with a salary close to 10 million euros per year. In addition, economic improvements are contemplated for his coaching staff, made up of Paul Clement, Francisco Mauri, Mino Fulco and Simone Montanaro, at
the request of the DT himself.
The signing will take place digitally because Ancelotti is in Vancouver, where he will remain until the end of April. During his stay, he will participate in the annual FIFA Congress, and he could also attend the inauguration of the new training center that the company Red Bull built in the United States, a base that Brazil will use during
the World Cup.
The decision to sustain the project responds to CBF's confidence in the process initiated by Ancelotti, who has already led ten games at the helm of Scratch, with a record of 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. The objective is to give continuity to the cycle and to strengthen preparation for the next international challenges.
