Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti is set for more talks about taking over as Brazil coach before the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in June.<\/b><\/p>\n
The 65-year-old Italian will meet representatives acting on behalf of the Brazilian Football Federation (CBF).<\/p>\n
Ancelotti said his future was “a topic for the next weeks, not today”, following Real’s stormy Copa del Rey final defeat by Barcelona<\/a> in Seville on Saturday.<\/p>\n However, Brazilian businessman Diego Fernandes, who has been acting on behalf of the CBF, was spotted at the match.<\/p>\n It is understood Fernandes’ latest visit to Europe includes a plan to try to persuade Ancelotti to take the Brazil job as soon as the Spanish domestic season is over. <\/p>\n That would mean Ancelotti leaving Real before this summer’s Club World Cup in the United States.<\/p>\n Ancelotti is the number one choice to replace Dorival Junior, who was sacked after Brazil’s 4-1 defeat by old rivals Argentina in Buenos Aires last month.<\/p>\n Brazil are fourth in the South American World Cup qualification table. <\/p>\n While they are not in any danger of failing to qualify for the expanded 48-team tournament to be jointly held in the United States, Canada and Mexico next year, the CBF feels Ancelotti would give Brazil the best chance of winning it.<\/p>\n
