With the 2026 World Cup just around the corner, Brazil made an important decision not only for its present but also for its future. The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) confirmed the continuation of Carlo Ancelotti as the coach of the national team until the 2030 World Cup, in a decision that reinforces the commitment to a sustained long-term process.
The Italian coach, who took over a year ago, had been working under a shorter initial contract, but his retention was a priority for the management. The renewal, which had been in the works since the beginning of the season, was officially announced through a social media post from the CBF: "Brazil and Carlo Ancelotti until 2030! Brazil continues under the leadership of one of the greatest coaches in history! Commitment, continuity, and trust to take the Brazilian National Team even further. The journey continues. Our dream too".
The post was accompanied by a video in which the coach himself expressed his commitment to the project. "I arrived in Brazil a year ago. From the first minute, I understood what football means to this country. For a year, we have worked to bring the Brazilian National Team back to the top of the world. But the CBF and I want more. More victories, more time, more work. We are pleased to announce that we will continue together for another four years", Ancelotti stated. He added: "We will stay together until the 2030 World Cup. I want to thank the CBF for their trust. Thank you, Brazil, for the warm welcome and all the affection".
