Carlo Ancelotti will become the Brazil head coach from May 26, 2025, after finishing the season with Real Madrid.
The 65-year-old manager will become Brazil’s first permanent foreign head coach, and will be in charge for the nation’s World Cup qualifiers against Paraguay and Ecuador next month.
The Brazilian FA (CBF) announced Ancelotti’s appointment in a statement on Monday.
The CBF hailed the “landmark moment of the coming together of two icons”, highlighting their unrivalled five World Cup wins and Ancelotti’s historic record in European football.
This will be Ancelotti’s first international role, but he will take over Brazil as one of the most decorated managers in club football and the only coach to win each of Europe’s top-five leagues.

The world’s most successful international team have been on the lookout for their fifth head coach in two-and-a-half years since the dismissal of Dorival Junior at the end of March.
Since his return for his second spell in the Spanish capital in 2021, Ancelotti has led Real Madrid to a pair of LaLiga and Champions League doubles, but following Sunday’s El Clasico defeat to Barcelona is all-but certain to miss out on any silverware in his final season.
He will leave the Bernabeu for the final time the day after their last game of the LaLiga season against Real Sociedad.
