The serial Champions League winner is the leading candidate to take over at Brazil, but the Brazilian Federation seems to be in a hurry to appoint a new coach who would lead the team during the World Cup qualifiers and, hopefully, during the 2026 World Cup.
Brazil put pressure on Ancelotti
'We regularly hold internal meetings at CBF. Ednaldo [Rodrigues, President of the Brazilian FA] and I are working to choose the new coach as quickly as possible,' Rodrigo Caetano, coordinator of the Brazilian national teams, told Sport TV via TMW.
'These are confidential negotiations; talking about percentages is practically impossible. We know that picking the coach of the Brazil national team is a big responsibility, but we intend to finalise it by next week at the latest.'

Ancelotti is contracted with Real Madrid until 2026, but he's expected to leave in the summer.
The Italian tactician remains the most successful coach in the history of the Merengues, having lifted 15 trophies at the Bernabeu.

Report – Inter Milan To Sign Fifth Striker Even If Lookman Pursuit Falls Through
Inter Milan will reportedly sign a fifth striker this summer even in the event that their pursuit of Ademola Lookman falls through. This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews. Inter Milan have been pushing to sign Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman for several weeks. The Nerazzurri's pursuit of the Nigerian international has become the soap opera of the summer transfer window. There is still no certainty on whether Inter will manage to land Lookman's signature. However, the longer that the transfer saga drags out, the less likely it appears. Inter To Sign A Fifth Striker – Even If It's Not Ademola Lookman PARMA, ITALY – APRIL 05: Giuseppe Marotta of FC Internazionale during the Serie A match between Parma and FC Internazionale at Stadio Ennio Tardini on April 05, 2025 in Parma, Italy. (Photo by) According to Sky Sport Italia, even if Inter are unable to sign Lookman, they will still sign a forward. Right now, the Nerazzurri can call upon Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram, as well as summer signing Ange-Yoan Bonny and youth academy graduate Francesco Pio Esposito. Meanwhile, Mehdi Taremi is expected to leave the club. According to Sky Sport Italia, Inter simply do not believe that four forwards enough. Attacking depth proved to be an Achilles' heel for Inter last season. Furthermore, new Nerazzurri coach Cristian Chivu wants to experiment with a 3-4-2-1 formation. Therefore, Inter will sign one more forward this summer. Lookman or no Lookman.
