Brazil has confirmed that head coach Carlo Ancelotti has extended his contract with the national team for four more years, until the 2030 FIFA World Cup.
Ancelotti was named as Brazil head coach in May last year and has since led the Selecao to the 2026 World Cup, starting June 11 in the United States of America, Mexico and Canada.
During his tenure, he boasts a record of five wins, two draws and three losses from 10 matches as he aims to lead Brazil to its sixth World Cup crown.

“I arrived in Brazil a year ago. From the first minute, I understood what football means to this country. For a year, we have been working to bring the Brazilian National Team back to the top of the world. But the CBF and I want more. More victories, more time, more work,” Ancelotti said in a statement.
“We are very happy to announce that we will continue together for another four years. We will go together until the 2030 World Cup. I want to thank the CBF for their trust. Thank you, Brazil, for the warm welcome and for all the affection,” said Ancelotti.
The Brazil Football Confederation (CBF) president Samir Xaud said, “The renewal of Carlo Ancelotti’s contract represents another firm step in our commitment to offering the five-time world champion national team an increasingly strong, modern and competitive structure. We work daily to keep Brazil at the highest level of world football, while also paying close attention to the development of other national teams, the competitions organized by the CBF, and the strengthening of clubs and federations throughout the country.”
