Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has been appointed coach of the Brazil national team in 2024. Former AC Milan coach, Fabio Capello, also admitted that Ancelotti was the right person.
Ancelotti did not need to be unemployed for long after his contract as Real Madrid coach expired in June 2024. The reason is, the coach who is usually called Don Carlo will immediately take charge of the Selecao, the nickname of the Brazilian national team.
The tactician from Italy immediately took on a tough task. The reason is, Ancelotti is directly projected to directly lead the Brazilian national team at the 2024 Copa America which is scheduled to take place from 20 June to 14 July 2024.
Capello gave his response regarding the appointment of Ancelotti as coach of the Brazilian national team. According to him, the 64-year-old coach is the best coach and his track record is unquestionable.
“He (Ancelotti) is the best. You won’t win anywhere, in Europe, if you don’t excel,” said Capello, quoted from Italian Football, Friday (7/7/2023).
Because Ancelotti has proven that with his success with Real Madrid, which won many trophies, one of which was the 2014 Champions League. Capello thinks Ancelotti is the right person because the Brazilian national team and Los Blancos, Real Madrid’s nickname, are equally demanding teams.
“He even won with Real Madrid, the most demanding club and Madrid is similar to Brazil,” he said.
“You can’t make mistakes and they (Brazil) have chosen someone who doesn’t make many mistakes.” Ancelotti added.
If you look at his coaching career, this will be Ancelotti’s first experience coaching the national team. It is known from Transfermarkt, he was only ever an assistant coach for the Italian national team in 1992-1993.
