Carlo Ancelotti is set to take over the Brazilian national team
Star coach Carlo Ancelotti is set to take over the Brazilian national soccer team from 2024. According to association president Ednaldo Rodrigues, the Italian is set to replace interim Fernando Diniz in the middle of next year.
Legendary coach Carlo Ancelotti should help the Brazilian national team to its former glory. The President doesn’t like that at all. Lula thinks the Italians should rather solve Italy’s problems.
Brazil’s President Lula is not particularly enthusiastic about Carlo Ancelotti’s forthcoming appointment as the Seleção’s new national team coach.
“I like Ancelotti, but he was never the coach of Italy. If he wanted to solve Brazil’s problem, then why not solve Italy’s problem, which didn’t even take part in the last World Cup,” Lula said in an interview with Brazilian news channel SBT News. According to Lula, it is “very easy to lead a team in Europe with eleven national players”.

Real Madrid coach Ancelotti, who also coaches FC Bayern, Juventus Turin and Chelsea FC, is set to become the Copa América coach of the Brazilian national soccer team from summer 2024. That’s what Ednaldo Rodrigues, president of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), told TV Globo after the association announced Fernando Diniz’s one-year commitment. It will be the first station as national coach for the 64-year-old, he only worked for three years as Italy’s assistant coach at the beginning of his coaching career.
“I’m a fan of Diniz”
Meanwhile, Lula showed himself to be a Diniz fan, who continues to coach Rio de Janeiro’s first-division side Fluminense at the same time. “I’m a Diniz fan, I like his creativity and his personality. It’s a good chance and I understand he’ll take it,” said the 77-year-old, stressing that “Diniz rules the dressing room. In football, the coach has to master the dressing room to do a good job”.

According to the president, Brazilian football has also suffered from the declining quality of the players in recent years. “The problem is not Diniz, the problem is that we no longer have the quality of players that we had in other times. The boys leave the country at the age of 16, 17 and come back at 36,” Lula said.
