Ancelotti to Stay with Brazil Until 2030
A Long-Term Project for the “Canarinha”
Carlo Ancelotti already has his sights set on the next World Cup, aiming to return Brazil to the top of international football and capture the long-awaited sixth star, a title that has eluded the “Canarinha” for more than two decades. The Brazilian federation is satisfied with his work and is already considering extending his deal.
“Carletto’s” contract runs through the end of the next World Cup, but both parties intend to extend it until 2030 to ensure continuity in the project. The Italian manager himself made it clear: “The federation has no problem renewing, and neither do I.”
The Brazilian Football Confederation’s plan is to prioritize stability and avoid disruptions, giving Ancelotti the time needed to build a competitive generation capable of contending in both the Copa América and the World Cup.
Results, Criticism, and Institutional Support
In Brazil, the pressure is constant. The national team has not lifted the World Cup trophy since 2002 and has not reached the Top 4 since 2014, when it hosted the tournament. Even so, the federation appears determined to maintain a long-term project, regardless of what happens in the upcoming World Cup.
Since his arrival, Ancelotti has managed 10 matches with the national team, recording 5 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses. His tenure has drawn criticism from the Brazilian press, though he has also received institutional backing, even in controversial decisions such as leaving Neymar out of some matches.
Within the federation, there is a clear belief: if anyone can bring Brazil back to the elite, it is Ancelotti. Confidence is so strong that his renewal seems imminent, as confirmed by Brazilian Football Confederation president Samir Xaud. The deal would maintain his €10 million annual salary, along with improvements to his coaching staff and full autonomy in player selection.
Full Confidence in the Process
For his part, Ancelotti appears comfortable and fully committed to the project. His objective is clear: to build a strong, competitive team for the long term. In Brazil, despite the pressure for immediate results, the idea that patience will be key to conquering the world again is beginning to take hold.
