Kaká has expressed his readiness to join Carlo Ancelotti's backroom staff for the Brazilian national team as they prepare for the 2026 World Cup. Having built up coaching credentials since retiring as a player in 2017, Kaká highlighted his dedication to learning, including taking courses at Harvard and the CBF. With Ancelotti set to take charge on May 26, he will lead the team in upcoming World Cup qualifiers, aiming for a top-six finish in COMNEBOL for automatic World Cup entry.
"If the team thinks I can help in some way, I think that, at this moment, I am ready. I am prepared," Kaká said in an interview with Cazé TV.
"I stopped playing in 2017. Since then, I have wanted to prepare myself. I took sports business courses at Harvard in the United States, I took a coaching course at the CBF [Brazilian Football Confederation], I have experience with the national team, the World Cup. If the opportunity arises, I am ready to return to serve the Brazilian national team."
The CBF announced earlier this month that Ancelotti would finish his time with Madrid at the end of the season and take charge on May 26 as the country's first foreign coach.
Ancelotti's task with Brazil is headed for a fast start. His first game in charge will be a World Cup qualifying clash away to Ecuador on June 5.
