The future of Carlo Ancelotti is already defined. The Italian coach, who is living his last months in charge of Real Madrid, has reached an agreement with the Brazilian Football Confederation to take over the reins of the Brazil national team. The decision, pending only the signature, represents a historic turn in the world of football, as one of the most successful coaches of the 21st century will exchange the helm of Real Madrid for that of the five-time champion before the Club World Cup.

Ancelotti will thus close a brilliant chapter in his career at the Santiago Bernabéu to take on the challenge of restoring Brazil's World Cup glory. With an enviable track record in the major European leagues and a unique ability to manage dressing rooms full of stars, the man from Reggiolo will strive to win what would be the sixth World Cup for the Canarinho. For this new adventure, he will have several familiar faces, such as Vinicius, Rodrygo, Militao, and Endrick, players he has already coached in Madrid and who are part of Brazil's young core for the future.

The path to sealing this agreement has been long and respectful. Diego Fernandes, envoy of the CBF presidency, has been a key figure in bridging the gap. His constant presence at games and private meetings with Ancelotti, like the recent Cup final in Seville, was crucial to finally convince the coach.

Real Madrid is taking Ancelotti's departure in stride and working on a farewell befitting his legacy. Meanwhile, in Brazil, details are being finalized to officially announce a move that could mark an era. Only the signature is missing to end the wait and seal one of the major news in the global football landscape.
