Real Madrid's Carlo Ancelotti remains Brazil's first-choice to manage the national team
Carlo Ancelotti remains Brazil’s top managerial target, but the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has now set a firm deadline for the Real Madrid boss to make a decision.

Reports indicate that the CBF has told Ancelotti he must decide soon, as they will not wait for much longer to move on from the Italian manager.
CBF growing impatient with Ancelotti’s uncertainty
Since the departure of former manager Tite, Ancelotti has been consistently linked with the Brazil national team job, despite never publicly expressing a desire to leave Real Madrid.
)
The CBF’s interest in the Italian has remained strong, especially as reports from Spain suggest his tenure at the Santiago Bernabéu could end this summer.
According to OK Diario, CBF officials recently contacted Ancelotti’s representatives following Real Madrid’s Spanish Super Cup campaign, stressing that they need a final answer within May.
)
The federation is keen to finalise its plans ahead of the 2026 World Cup cycle, and uncertainty over Ancelotti’s availability has left them in limbo.
Dorival Junior’s future in doubt over Ancelotti interest
Although Dorival Junior is currently in charge of the Selecao, his inconsistent performances in the World Cup qualifiers have raised concerns within the federation.
)
Brazil’s struggles in recent matches have led the CBF to keep exploring alternative options, with Ancelotti remaining their preferred choice.
If the Real Madrid boss ultimately rejects the offer, the CBF may have to fully back Dorival Junior or look for another high-profile candidate before the qualification campaign intensifies.
)
With the May deadline set, all eyes will now be on Ancelotti and whether he chooses to embrace a new international challenge or remain in club football.
