Brazil appoint Ancelotti as new coach


Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti agrees deal to become new Brazil head coach from end of season; 65-year-old will leave Real Madrid to take up new position on May 26, having failed to win major title in final season at Bernabeu

Carlo Ancelotti will become the Brazil head coach from May 26 after finishing the season with Real Madrid.

The 65-year-old will become the nation's first permanent foreign head coach, and will be in charge for Brazil's World Cup qualifiers against Paraguay and Ecuador next month.

The world's most successful international team have been on the lookout for their fifth head coach in two-and-a-half years since the dismissal of Dorival Junior at the end of March.

This will be Ancelotti's first international role, but he will take over Brazil as one of the most decorated managers in club football and the only coach to win each of Europe's top-five leagues.

Since his return for his second spell in the Spanish capital in 2021, he has led Real Madrid to a pair of La Liga and Champions League doubles, but following Sunday's El Clasico defeat to Barcelona is all-but certain to miss out on any silverware in his final season.

He will leave the Bernabeu for the final time the day after their last game of the La Liga season against Real Sociedad.
