The atmosphere surrounding Carlo Ancelotti in Brazil is almost impossible to overstate. A national team that, just a year ago, seemed trapped in a cycle of doubts, criticism and constant changes on the bench, now lives a deep transformation. And it’s not only about results — it’s about identity.

A Squad United by the “Carletto Touch”

Since taking full control of the CBF, Ancelotti has delivered something Brazil had been searching for: emotional and footballing stability. The trust between the squad and the coach is total, almost automatic.

Players like Ederson have said it openly: Carletto’s arrival changed the mentality, the work and the internal atmosphere. In his words, he “brought a winning mentality,” something a young squad urgently needed.

His style has been equally important. Short sessions, dynamic, aggressive, built on one-touch and two-touch sequences. A blend of the elaborate football that has always defined Brazil and the competitive discipline of Europe — something Brazil had struggled to incorporate for years.

That balance, that signature human touch from Ancelotti, has restored harmony to the Seleção.

The CBF Wants Him for Much More Than One World Cup

Ancelotti’s contract runs until the 2026 World Cup, but the CBF doesn’t even want to hear the word “farewell.” Their vision is clear: they want Carletto to lead the next cycle too — the one that goes all the way to 2030.

This isn’t a whim. The federation believes that a year and a half is not enough to stabilize everything, and stopping a project that is just beginning would be a strategic mistake. The goal is to build an era, not a brief chapter.

The sentiment is so positive that, according to internal sources, the renewal is shaping up to be little more than a formality. There is alignment, mutual respect and a level of trust Brazil hasn’t felt in years.

Ancelotti Himself Opens the Door

To complete the picture, even Ancelotti has made it clear he already feels at home.
“I have no plan that isn’t Brazil,” he said recently. He even joked that renewing before the World Cup would be “cheaper” for the CBF than doing it afterward — a wink that shows his long-term intentions.

Brazil has found in Carletto more than a coach: a leader, an ego-manager and a guide for a generation that needed to rediscover itself.

Everything now seems aligned for the project to grow through 2030 — a horizon the CBF views as the ideal scenario to restore the full shine of the five-time world champions.
