Newcastle United star Bruno Guimaraes will be reunited with his former Athletico Paranaense boss Fernando Diniz after he was appointed as Brazil head coach on a one-year contract - amid reports that Carlo Ancelotti will take over next summer.
The Brazilian Football Confederation has announced that Diniz will combine his international duties with his role as Fluminense boss. And Ednaldo Rodrigues, president of the CBF, has been quoted as saying that Ancelotti will replace Diniz once the Italian's contract at Real Madrid expires in June 2024.
"He is a coach whose game-plan is really similar to that of the coach who will take over for the Copa America, Ancelotti," Rodrigues said, according to reports in Brazil. "He has almost the same type of methods."
