BrazilBrazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti has expressed confidence that he can lead the Selecão to World Cup glory, even as the first foreign-born manager to attempt such a feat.Speaking on Monday, the Italian tactician acknowledged the historical challenge ahead, noting that no national team has ever lifted the World Cup under a non-native coach.
However, he remained optimistic about breaking that barrier.“There’s always a first time,” Ancelotti said with a smile. “Brazil has immense talent and passion for football. My goal is to help this team reach the heights it deserves.”Ancelotti, one of the most successful managers in football history with multiple Champions League titles to his name, took charge of Brazil following his spell at Real Madrid.
He is set to lead the five-time world champions into the 2026 FIFA World Cup with hopes of ending their 24-year wait for the trophy.
