There is a formula for success, which is the people management he does. With one year left for the World Cup, he is the best name to be in this position. I wanted to thank the other coaches who have been here so far. It started with Ramon Menezes, Fernando Diniz, and Dorival Junior", said Rodrigo Caetano. "Very beautiful first impressions, an honor, a great pride to command the greatest team in the world. I have a great job ahead, I am very excited that Brazil will be champion again. Let's go together. We need all of you. I was received with a lot of affection. I am very happy, very excited, and I think we will do a job with a lot of responsibility. I thank the CBF for bringing me here, Real Madrid for allowing me to negotiate the coming. I am very happy, it is a very big challenge. I have always had a connection with this country. It is really very special. I will try to carry out a job at the highest level". "My connection started very early, with Falcão. But I trained 34 Brazilians. I can say the name of all because I have a good memory. But the best Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Kaká, Cafu, Emerson, Dida, a lot of them. Endrick, Rodrygo, Militão. This connection started very early in my career. For the first time, I come to Rio de Janeiro. It is something difficult because I have been in all the cities in the world, but Rio was missing. I want to take this opportunity. Coach Carlos Alberto Parreira, four-time champion in 1994, sent a welcome video to Carlo Ancelotti. "May he bring us the much-desired hexa and always count on us".
