Carlo Ancelotti Set To Become Brazil Head Coach In 2024 

According to Brazilian Football Confederation president Ednaldo Rodrigues, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti is set to become Brazil’s coach for the Copa America, which will be held in the United States next summer.

In the meantime, an interim coach, Fluminense boss Fernando Diniz, has been appointed for the next 12 months.

Diniz will temporarily replace Ramon Menezes, the U-20 manager who served as the interim coach for the senior squad earlier this year but experienced two losses out of three friendly matches.

Diniz will continue his role at Fluminense and will only join the Brazilian national team for the World Cup qualifiers. Ancelotti is expected to take charge of the 2024 Copa America and the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

“His (Diniz) game plan is almost similar to that of the coach that will take over at Copa America, Ancelotti,” Rodrigues said.

“We don’t call him an interim coach of the national team. He will come and make the transition in Brazil for Ancelotti.”

No terms have been announced for Ancelotti’s takeover, nor has anything been said by Real Madrid at the time of this report.
