Carlo Ancelotti is experiencing a completely new phase in his coaching career, after moving from leading Real Madrid to coaching the Brazilian national team, in a different experience between the atmosphere of Madrid and its pressures, and the celebratory atmosphere of Rio de Janeiro.

The Italian coach is preparing for his biggest challenge with the 'Selecao' in the 2026 World Cup, and before that, he will appear on the 'World of Valdano' program on Movistar channel, where the full interview will be aired on February 20 at ten in the evening.

During excerpts from the meeting with Argentine Jorge Valdano, Ancelotti revealed: I think I will renew my contract for four years with Brazil. It is a new job and I am very happy with it.

Carlo also spoke about Vinicius Junior, one of the prominent stars of the Brazilian team, confirming that he discussed with him many matters related to behavior on the field. He said: 'The player must respect the coach and his teammates. He has improved a lot in terms of behavior on the field, Brazilians are very humble and different by nature. The Vinicius who comes here is humanly different from the one who was at Real Madrid.'

Regarding Xabi Alonso's short phase at Real Madrid, he said: 'He faced difficulties... adaptability is a fundamental element in the coach's work, and trying to create new atmospheres takes time, and this time is not always available.'

At the end of the excerpt, Valdano posed a direct question: 'Would you like to return to Real Madrid?' Ancelotti simply smiled and replied briefly: 'Good question...'.
