Carlo Ancelotti will remain in charge of Brazil national football team until the 2030 FIFA World Cup after signing a contract extension following a successful first year with the five-time world champions.
The Brazilian Football Confederation (Brazilian Football Confederation) confirmed the new deal after the Italian tactician guided Brazil to qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup set to be hosted in Canada, Mexico and the United States next month.
Ancelotti, who took over in May 2025 after leaving Real Madrid, said his mission to restore Brazil’s dominance in world football is far from complete.
“From the very first minute, I understood what football means to this country,” Ancelotti said, stressing his desire for “more victories, more time, and more work” with the national team.
The 66-year-old has overseen 10 matches so far, recording five wins, two draws and three defeats as Brazil prepares for another shot at global glory.
Brazil, chasing a record-extending sixth World Cup title and their first since 2002, will begin their 2026 campaign against Morocco national football team on June 13 before facing Haiti national football team and Scotland national football team in Group C.
CBF president Samir Xaud described the contract extension as a major step toward rebuilding Brazil into a dominant force on the global stage.
