Recent media reports have revealed that Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus, the head coach of Saudi club Al Hilal, has seen his chances of taking over the Brazil national team diminish following the dismissal of coach Dorival Junior, as Italian Carlo Ancelotti has returned to be the first choice.

Ancelotti, the current Real Madrid coach, has become the main and closest option to coach the Brazil national team as his tenure with the Merengues is nearing its end.

It is worth noting that Jesus was the first and realistic choice in the calculations of the Brazilian Football Confederation, but after Real Madrid's exit from the Champions League, Ancelotti has become the closest to taking this position.

Media reports in recent days have stated that Jesus is ready to take over the Brazil team at the end of the current season and will not wait to lead Al Hilal in the 2025 Club World Cup in the United States.

Meanwhile, reports have indicated that Ancelotti wants to remain in his role with Real Madrid until participating in the 2025 Club World Cup, which will be held during June and July, thus shifting attention towards Jesus as the primary option.

With the Royal Club's exit from the Champions League, the Italian coach is close to leaving his position in Spain, which has prompted Brazil to consider him as the first choice.

The Brazilian Football Confederation is keen to appoint a new coach before the international break in June, when the national team resumes its journey in the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
