Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that he will remain as head coach of the Brazil national team despite the unexpected elimination by Norway in the Round of 16 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The Italian manager made it clear that he has no intention of stepping down, emphasizing that the defeat should not be seen as the end of the project, but rather as an opportunity to build an even stronger team.
Ancelotti stated that Brazil must continue working, improve its performances, and develop new ideas to restore the Seleção to the highest level of international football.
According to the Italian coach, the World Cup exit is a major disappointment, but at the same time it marks the beginning of a new cycle, with the goal of bringing Brazil back stronger for the challenges ahead.
“We have to keep working, improve, and come up with new ideas. I believe this defeat is not the end, but the beginning of a new cycle. I am convinced that we will build a stronger Brazil for the challenges that lie ahead,” Ancelotti said.
With these remarks, Ancelotti dismissed any speculation about a possible departure, reaffirming his commitment to leading the five-time world champions through their rebuilding process.
