The Brazilian football confederation announced the resignation of Dorival Junior on Friday and dreams of signing the Real Madrid coach.
The 4-1 defeat of Brazil against Argentina in the qualifications of 2026 World Cup had almost immediate consequences. Ednol Rodrigues, president of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), announced the resignation of Dorival Júnior on Friday.
Even before it was officially announced, speculation started to swirl over different names that could take its position, with the World Cup 2026 in the United States, Canada and Mexico on the Horizon. Some have real opportunities, while others depend on many factors, but the Brazilian people excite. The most striking are Pep Guardiola (Manchester City) and Carlo Ancelotti (Real Madrid). The most likely candidates would be Jorge Jesus or Filipe Luis.
Carlo Ancelotti, the very desired
Ancelotti has long been considered the ideal candidate in Brazil to manage the national team. This is, among other things, due to his ability to make the most from Vinicius Jr. To get, who is not the same in a real Madrid shirt when he is in a Canarinha, but who should be the role model for a generation that sees it increasingly difficult for Neymar to return to his prime.
Well, is it really feasible for the Italian to coach Brazil? It is complicated, but there are several important factors that can make it a reality. The Real Madrid coach has a contract until 2026 and is determined to fulfill it, as he repeated this Friday. “The contract speaks volumes. I have nothing to do here. I have a lot of affection for the Brazilian national team, his players and the fans, but I have a contract with Real Madrid.”
Halfway through the season, with Real Madrid in the midst of the competition, cup and Champions League titles, it would be strange if he said something else. But that depends on how the season ends. A double or treble, or even a title, is not the same as winning nothing and Barça who wins everything. The latter scenario could feed the doubts about his future at Real Madrid and give hope to Brazil, according to Brazilian media.
Another remarkable name is Xabi Alonso, who is aware of Real Madrid on a large scale, is reserved as their future manager as soon as Carletto leaves. The decision he makes at the end of the season is crucial: whether he will remain in Bayer Leverkusen or looking for a new chance until the end of his contract (2026). If he leaves, the importance of Real Madrid could increase, which would lead to the release of Ancelotti.
The most feasible scenario they see in Brazil would therefore be that Ancelotti would arrive in 2026, as soon as his contract with Real Madrid ends and the world cup is over. It is the most feasible scenario, but far from the person they want. They would like him tomorrow.
The role of Ronaldo Nazario
The CBF has already resumed contact with the experienced coach, according to reports in Brazil. The intermediaries are said to be Cafu, Roberto Carlos, Kaká and the aforementioned Ronaldo. “I remember that I never spoke about this with Ronaldo,” Carlo responded to rumors.
A very different version than Ronaldos, who claimed that they helped in the process by speaking with Ancelotti. “After negotiations, everything got stuck because I didn't have Madrid's release. If he hadn't won anything, Madrid would have kicked him out and he would have come (referring to last season), but he won the Champions League and remained. What happens in the remaining two months of the competition everything can decide.”
