ISTANBUL (AA) - Carlo Ancelotti will become Brazil’s head coach after finishing the season with Real Madrid, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) confirmed Monday.

"Bringing Carlo Ancelotti to lead Brazil is more than a strategic move. It is a statement to the world that we are determined to reclaim the highest place on the podium," CBF president Ednaldo Rodrigues said in a statement.

"He is the greatest coach in history, and now he is leading the greatest national team on the planet. Together, we will write new glorious chapters of Brazilian football," he added.

Ancelotti will lead Brazil until the 2026 World Cup and will coach them in their next two qualifying matches against Ecuador and Paraguay next month.

The 65-year-old Italian bagged three UEFA Champions League titles, two FIFA Club World Cups, three UEFA Super Cups, and two Spanish La Liga titles with Real Madrid.
