The 5-time world champion links his fate with the Italian veteran
The Brazilian Football Confederation has announced a four-year contract extension with Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti, allowing him to remain in charge of the Seleção until the 2030 World Cup finals.
The announcement ended speculation over Ancelotti’s future, as he confirmed Brazilian Federation The new contract extends until the 2030 World Cup, clearly confirming the federation’s support for the project of the Italian coach, who takes over at the end of May 2025.
Ancelotti’s continuation with a team that has won five World Cup titles reflects the confidence the veteran Italian manager has received from players, fans and management just a year after his arrival.
After taking charge, Ancelotti became the central figure of the Brazilian federation, where he worked closely with various departments and strengthened relationships based on belonging and professional work.
In the 10 matches he took charge of the team, he managed five wins and two draws against three defeats, while his players scored 18 goals and conceded eight, a figure Al-Ittihad saw as a “solid foundation” for the long-term plan.
“I arrived in Brazil a year ago and from the first moment I understood what football means to this country. Over the course of a year, we worked hard to bring the Brazilian national team back to the top of the world.”
He continued. “The Brazilian federation and I want more, more victories, more time, more work. We will move forward together until the 2030 World Cup. Thank you to the Federation for your trust and thank you, Brazil, for this warm welcome and all this love.”
For his part, Brazilian Football Confederation president Samir Zod described the day as “historic for Brazilian football”, stressing that Ancelotti’s contract extension was “a firm step in our commitment to provide a strong, modern and competitive structure for the national team”.
“We work every day to maintain Brazil’s position at the highest levels of world football, paying close attention to the development of other national teams, the competitions organized by the federation and the strengthening of clubs and federations throughout the country.”
Extending Ancelotti’s contract until 2030, Brazil have opted for stability and European experience to lead a new generation of talent, betting clearly that combining a Brazilian identity with an Italian mentality is the best way to regain the title that has been missing since 2002.
