Brazil's football confederation (CBF) is reportedly planning to announce a contract extension for head coach Carlo Ancelotti before the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The Italian manager, who took charge of the Seleção in 2024, has led the team through a successful qualifying campaign.
According to sources close to the CBF, the extension would keep Ancelotti at the helm through the 2026 tournament and potentially beyond. The decision comes as Brazil aims to secure its sixth World Cup title in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Ancelotti, 66, previously managed Real Madrid and Everton before accepting the Brazil job. His current contract was set to expire after the World Cup, but the CBF is eager to ensure stability ahead of the competition.
No official announcement has been made, but reports suggest the extension could be confirmed in the coming weeks. The CBF declined to comment on the matter.
