The president of the Brazilian Football Confederation, Ednaldo Rodrigues, said Wednesday that Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti will be in charge of the national team in the Copa América next year.
So far, Ancelotti has not confirmed that he has an agreement to lead the five-time world champions.
Rodrigues spoke to the press during the presentation of Fernando Diniz as helmsman of the Brazilian team until July next year.
“It is going to be. Rest assured, ”Rodrigues responded to a question about whether he already has an agreement with Ancelotti to be the Verdeamerela coach in the Copa América to be played in the United States.
The 64-year-old Italian coach has a contract with Madrid that will expire just as 12 Diniz’s deal with Brazil will expire.
“He (Ancelotti) has said that he will be with us,” Rodrigues said.
Brazil’s plan with Carlo Ancelotti
The Brazilian soccer leaders intend to let the next season pass so that Ancelotti can be in charge of the continental tournament that will take place between June 20 and July 14, and then face the 2026 World Cup.
To another question about why he hasn’t spoken publicly about an agreement to lead Brazil until the 2023 World Cup, Rodrigues replied: “That’s a detail. That is his faculty, he is the only one who can speak about it ”.
Diniz, 49, will continue as manager of Fluminense, a club from Rio de Janeiro. It will be his turn to command the coach who will play the South American qualifiers for the World Cup starting in September. He replaces Ramon Menezes, U20 coach and who was in charge as interim this year for a friendly series, losing two of three.
Tite, the previous permanent coach of Brazil, parted ways after the elimination on penalties against Croatia in the quarterfinals of the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
