According to press reports, the Brazilian Football Confederation is preparing to enter negotiations with Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti to extend his contract, which is set to expire at the end of the 2026 World Cup.

According to ESPN, Ancelotti's contract renewal is not linked to the national team's results in the World Cup, as both parties can reach a new agreement months before the tournament. This reflects the Brazilian federation's strong confidence in the project led by the experienced coach.

Ancelotti enjoys widespread support within the federation due to the work he has done since taking on the role, as he is seen as a key pillar in building long-term stability within the Brazilian national team.

Ancelotti took over as coach of the Brazilian national team last summer, after leaving Real Madrid.
