Since Tite left the Brazilian team, after the elimination in the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Qatar, there has been speculation in the neighboring country about his replacement.
Now, the local press pointed to a new favorite in the succession:
Carlo Ancelotti
.
According to the Brazilian media, the Italian coach, currently at Real Madrid, welcomes the possibility of being the technical director of the Brazilian team, which increased the desire to hire him in the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), as indicated in the last hours the Brazilian press.
The announcement of the new coach of the Brazilian team can still be delayed but in recent weeks the negotiations have taken important steps and
the CBF, through intermediaries, learned that Ancelotti would like to take charge of the Brazilian team after the season ends in europe
.
In a preview of the Globo Esporte portal, the president of the CBF, Ednaldo Rodrigues, has scheduled
a meeting in February with the president of Real Madrid
, Florentino Pérez, to formalize a proposal.
The good relationship of the coach with the Brazilian players weighed in the CBF's decision since Ancelotti directs Rodrygo, Vini Jr. and Éder Militão in Spain, in addition to having worked with Casemiro, former Real Madrid and now a Manchester United player.

Ancelotti's contract with the Merengue club is valid until mid-2024
.
At the end of last year, the coach stated that he was never contacted by the CBF and made it clear that he intended to remain at the Spanish club.
With the advances in recent weeks, the CBF agreed to wait for the coach until the end of the season.
For this reason, he is already working with the possibility that
Ramón Menezes, coach of the under 20 team, commands the senior team on the FIFA date of March
.
The matches are scheduled for the period from the 20th to the 28th and the idea of the CBF is to hold a single friendly and take advantage of a whole week of training.
An important point that favored postponing the hiring of the new DT is the confirmation that
the first FIFA date will not be for matches valid for the World Cup Qualifiers
.
If the agreement with Ancelotti does not take place, the CBF has
two other names in its sights
: the Portuguese José Mourinho, from Roma, and Jorge Jesús, former manager of Flamengo and currently at Fenerbahce in Turkey.
Among the coaches who direct in Brazil, the favorite is Fernando Diniz, from Fluminense.
