Carlo Ancelotti will become the manager of Brazil next summer when his Real Madrid contract expires.
Ancelotti has been strongly linked with the Brazil job and Brazilian Football Confederation president Ednaldo Rodrigues has now announced the plan. In an intriguing move, Fluminense boss Fernando Diniz has been appointed on a 12-month contract and will then make way for Ancelotti in June 2024.
The Italian has never managed an international side before but will join the Selecao ahead of the Copa America in the United States. Real Madrid are yet to comment on the news, which Rodrigues announced on Wednesday.
