The Brazilian Football Confederation has made a decision that has surprised the football world: the new coach of the Canarinha will be Jorge Jesus. The veteran Portuguese coach, currently in charge of Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal, has been chosen to replace Dorival Júnior, leaving behind other heavyweight names such as Filipe Luis, Abel Ferreira, José Mourinho, and above all, Carlo Ancelotti.

The choice represents a tough blow to the Real Madrid coach, who for months was the frontrunner to lead Brazil in their new project towards the 2026 World Cup. However, the CBF has definitively ruled out hiring him, a new setback for the Italian who is currently facing uncertainty at the white club, where his continuity beyond this season is in doubt.

Ancelotti loses his main suitor

Jorge Jesus, who already made a mark on Brazilian football after his successful stint with Flamengo in 2019, has accepted the challenge of coaching a national team in need of identity and titles. Despite having a contract until June with Al Hilal, the Brazilian federation wants to have him before the Club World Cup and would be willing to pay the 2.5 million euros required for his release.

The contract with Brazil would extend until the end of the next World Cup and, interestingly, would entail a significant salary reduction for the Portuguese coach, who is willing to give up a large part of his current income to take on the challenge of guiding Neymar, Vinicius, Rodrygo, and company. With this decision, Brazil not only finds its new leader but also leaves Ancelotti's future uncertain, as he loses one of the great opportunities that was on the table.
