Brasilia: After a long wait, Super Coach himself arrives to make strategies for the Brazilian football team. After the World Cup, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is coming to fill the vacancy left by Tite. He said ‘yes’ to the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). ‘ESPN Brazil’ reported.
Angelotti will fly to Brazil at the end of the season. His contract with Real Madrid runs until 2024. If the report turns out to be true, he will be the first foreign coach to coach Brazil.
The news comes amid questions over Angelotti’s future at Real. Angelotti, who replaced Zinedine Zidane, led Real to the Champions League and La Liga titles last season. However, this time the team is showing poor performance after the World Cup break. The team has also fallen far behind in the La Liga title race after suffering a humiliating loss to Barca in the Spanish Super Cup final.
Angelotti has a good relationship with many of Brazil’s youth ranks. Angelotti is familiar with the playing styles of Rodrigo, Vinicius Jr and Eder Militao. Also has a close relationship with Casemiro. The Brazilian Football Association believes that having such a person at the helm will help develop a more cohesive team.
“Globo.com” reported that CBF president Ednaldo Rodríguez will meet with Real president Florentino Perez as part of the move to acquire Angelotti. It is known that the meeting will be held this month itself. Discussions including finalizing the contract will be held in the meeting.
Earlier it was reported that Brazil is eyeing prominent people including Manchester City’s super coach Pep Guardiola. Brazil’s legend Ronaldo told the Spanish media ‘Esporti’ that he was in touch with Pep even before the World Cup. Sevilla’s Jorge Sampaoli, Sao Paulo’s Rogerio Ceni and Brazil coach Fernando Dinis were also reportedly under consideration.
