Carlo Ancelotti to Stay as Brazil Head Coach Despite World Cup 2026 Round of 16 Exit

Brazil’s football federation has decided to stick with Carlo Ancelotti after the national team’s disappointing campaign at the 2026 World Cup. According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, the 67-year-old Italian will continue in his role under the terms of his existing contract. Ancelotti took over the Seleção in May last year. Since then, Brazil have played 17 matches, recording 10 wins, three draws and four losses, with a goal difference of 36:15. At the 2026 World Cup, Brazil were eliminated in the Round of 16. Ancelotti is now expected to lead a rebuild with an eye on the 2030 tournament. The federation is set to make an official announcement confirming the decision in the coming days.
