Brazil's top choice for manager still Carlo Ancelotti
Posted : 31 May 2023
According to Ednaldo Rodrigues, head of Brazil's football confederation (CBF), Carlo Ancelotti of Real Madrid continues to be the nation's top pick to succeed Tite.
Ancelotti confirmed his willingness to remain the coach of Real Madrid until June 2024, when his contract expires, despite receiving a lot of interest from Brazil after Tite retired after the 2022 World Cup.
"He [Ancelotti] is a coach who has this vision and courage to put new talents to play," Rodrigues said.
"No disrespect to any other coach. Brazil has many coaches that we have great appreciation for, and who are competent, but we have a plan, and plan A is exactly that [Ancelotti]."
Despite missing out on the LaLiga championship and finishing second in the Champions League after losing to Manchester City in the semifinals, Ancelotti guided Real Madrid to the Copa del Rey triumph this season.
Rodrigues is still confident that he can persuade Ancelotti to take charge of the national team.
"We have the feeling that it can work," Rodrigues added.
"Let's wait for the end of the competition [LaLiga], despite already having a champion, Barcelona. But we will wait for the competition to end, and we have the intuition that it can work."
