"Ancelotti is the right person at this moment for Brazil, which, given its history, is always considered amongst the favourites. Maybe not in the top three, but it's a good team, and Carlo is Carlo. I'm confident, I've been lucky enough to play at three World Cups, and I know how exciting it can be."
"Having a good tournament after so many disappointments would be great for the country. Brazil's World Cup campaign begins against Morocco on June 13, before facing Haiti six days later and rounding off their group against Scotland. Only once since their title in 2002 have Brazil gone further than the quarter-finals, finishing fourth on home soil in 2014."
Carlo Ancelotti, who took over Brazil's national team in May after leaving Real Madrid, will lead the Selecao at the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Brazil faces Haiti, Morocco, and Scotland in Group C. Despite an Opta supercomputer projection giving them only a 5.6% chance of winning a record sixth title, former Brazil star Kaka expresses confidence in Ancelotti's leadership. Kaka believes Ancelotti is the ideal manager for Brazil at this moment, noting the team remains among the favorites given its historical pedigree. Brazil's last World Cup victory came in 2002, and they have only reached the quarter-finals once since then, finishing fourth at home in 2014.
