The 65-year-old coach Carlo Ancelotti was introduced as the new coach of the Brazilian National Team this Monday (26), at the headquarters of the CBF, in Rio de Janeiro. 

The Italian entered the press room alongside former player Branco, world champion in 1994, and sat at the table with the director of the CBF, Rodrigo Caetano, as well as the new president Samir Xaud.

"Many people tend to trivialize the word 'history', and today, we are making history. The CBF hires one of the greatest coaches in the world, experienced, who loves Brazilian football. The CBF is very happy with this contract. And we believe a lot in the work of the technical commission. The CBF will give total autonomy to the technical commission. What we want most is to put, again, the Team in the place where it deserves to be", said Samir Xaud. 

"I wanted to thank everyone involved in his arrival, an honor to be alongside the most victorious coach in the world, but who comes to the most victorious team in the world. 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".

Luiz Felipe Scolari, world champion in 2002, was present to greet Ancelotti and handed him the "famous" blue and white jacket of the National Team.  

The Brazilian National Team faces Ecuador on June 5, at the Monumental Isidro Romero Carbo Stadium, in Guayaquil. On the 10th, the opponent will be Paraguay, at the Neo Química Arena, in São Paulo.

The games are valid for the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers. The five-time world champions are in fourth place with 21 points.
