The Carlo Ancelotti era begins for Brazil on Thursday as the Italian oversees his first match in charge of the five-time World Cup winners at Ecuador.
Ancelotti has teamed up with the Seleção after leaving Real Madrid at the end of last season, marking his first venture into international management. He arrives at an underwhelming period in Brazil’s history but will be aiming to significantly improve upon the disappointing performances produced under the watch of his predecessor Dorival Júnior.
