Fans on social media have reacted to the confirmation that Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti will take up the Brazil managerial job in 2024.
Ancelotti was heavily linked with Le Selecao after they parted ways with Tite following their quarter-final elimination from the 2022 FIFA World Cup against Croatia. However, the Italian manager stated publicly that he will see out his contract with Los Blancos, which expires next year.
Brazil Football Federation's president Ednaldo has now confirmed that Ancelotti will manage Le Selecao in Copa America 2024. Until then, Fluminese manager Fernando Diniz will take over from interim manager Ramon Menezes (via MARCA). Diniz will not leave his job at Fluminese though and will only help Brazil in the World Cup qualifiers.
Regardless, fans online have shared their reactions as Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti appears set to become Brazil's head coach next season. One fan even predicted that Le Selecao will win their sixth FIFA World Cup trophy in the next edition in 2026:
"Brazil To win next world cup book it."
Here are some other reactions to the confirmation of Carlo Ancelotti taking up the Brazil job in 2024:
