Carlo Ancelotti was appointed Brazil manager after leaving Real Madrid and is leading a national side for the first time. Brazil qualified for the 2026 World Cup despite an underwhelming CONMEBOL campaign, finishing fifth and ten points behind Argentina. Ancelotti has won four of his eight matches in charge, with two draws and two losses. He expressed confidence in Brazil's squad and set a clear objective to be competitive and to try to win the tournament.
