Brazil wants Ancelotti to stay after World Cup  - 1

Italian Carlo Ancelotti could remain as Brazil's national team coach beyond the 2026 World Cup, as the Brazilian Football Confederation is already in advanced talks to extend the coach's contract, according to The Athletic.

Ancelotti has made a good impression since becoming the first foreign head coach of the Brazilian national team and the two sides have begun talks to extend the coach's contract.

The Brazilian Confederation is eager to secure the Italian's services until 2030, signaling its intention to build a long-term project rather than limiting Carlo Ancelotti's role to a single tournament cycle.

The Italian was appointed in May with an initial one-year contract a contract that is valid until the end of the 2026 World Cup.
