Ronaldo Aims to Bring Carlo Ancelotti to Brazil's National Team
Ronaldo Nazario, a candidate for Brazil’s Football Federation presidency, plans to convince Carlo Ancelotti to manage Brazil’s national team.
Ronaldo Nazario, the legendary Brazilian striker, has announced his candidacy for the presidency of the Brazilian Football Federation. His ambitious plans include bringing renowned Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti to manage the Brazilian national team.
In an interview with Globo Esporte, Ronaldo expressed his optimism about Brazil’s talent pool. "We have the best players in the world, including stars like Vinícius Júnior, Neymar, Rodrygo, and Endrick. With such talent, we should be performing better," he said.
The Brazilian Football Federation elections are scheduled for 2025 or 2026. Reports from 'Gazzetta dello Sport' suggest Ronaldo intends to leverage his strong relationship with Ancelotti to secure his appointment. Ancelotti, who recently extended his contract with Real Madrid until 2026, previously declined Brazil’s offer but remains a key figure in Ronaldo’s vision for the team.
Ronaldo’s campaign hinges on executing this high-profile coaching appointment, as he believes Ancelotti can elevate Brazil’s performance on the global stage, especially with their current roster of young stars.
