Carlo Ancelotti has been appointed the new head coach of Brazil, expressing pride and honor in leading what he calls 'the best team in the world.' With a rich history of coaching success, including multiple Champions League titles, Ancelotti aims to revitalize a struggling Brazilian squad that hasn't performed well in recent outings. Brazil's last World Cup victory was in 2002, and Ancelotti's initial challenge includes upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Paraguay. His predecessor, Dorival Junior, was dismissed following a disappointing loss to Argentina, paving the way for Ancelotti's leadership.
I'm honoured and proud to lead the best team in the world. I have a big job ahead of me, and I'm delighted. The challenge is great.
Brazil have won the World Cup five times, with the most recent triumph in 2002, and Ancelotti's first games with them are two qualifiers.
Ancelotti was welcomed by former Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari and has replaced Dorival Junior, who was sacked after a 4-1 defeat by Argentina.
The team's struggles began more than two years ago when they were knocked out of the 2022 World Cup by Croatia on penalties in the quarter-finals.
