The ‘Canarinha’ announces Fernando Diniz as interim coach
Carlo Ancelotti will be the new coach of Brazil in the next Copa América in 2024, which is organized in June and July in the United States, once his contract with Real Madrid ends. In addition, the Brazilian Football Confederation also announced that Fluminense’s coach, Fernando Diniz, will be interim coach for one year in the place of Ramón Menezes.
soap opera since april
News that has been brewing for months, since on April 1 the Real Madrid coach, who has a contract with the white club until June 30, 2024, opened the doors to negotiate with the CBF. Then Carlo declared at a press conference: “If the reality is that a team like Brazil loves me, I love that and it makes me very excited. Then you have to respect the things done as a contract that I want to fulfill”. In addition, Carletto offered a hand to negotiate. “I don’t know the president of the Brazilian Federation, if he wants to talk to me I would love to meet him and say hello”he said that day.
After the insistence of the president of the Brazilian Confederation, Ednaldo Rodrigues, it seems that an agreement has been reached that the Italian has never flatly denied. After winning the Champions League in 2022, the Italian confessed that his career as a club coach was over when his contract with Real Madrid ended and that he was considering directing a selection. Words that the Brazilian leaders used to make this offer that seems to have come to fruition.
The unknown is knowing now what consequences it will have at Real Madrid. The relationship between the coach and the president, Florentino Pérez, is good. But we must not forget that Ancelotti is very upset by the club’s decision not to sign any striker after the departure of Karim Benzema. To this is added the clash that occurred last March when the club questioned the continuity of the Italian, going so far as to sound out Mauricio Pochettino, at which time Carletto opened the door to Brazil at that press conference. And to all this is added that Ancelotti was already fired in his first stage with a one-year contract signed after not winning any title in his second season.
Ancelotti in transition and Raúl waiting
Nothing seems to indicate that Florentino is going to make a drastic decision, although he has always preferred discretion and this news is going to put the media spotlight on the Real Madrid press room throughout the season. But ehis coming campaign has been taken at the club as “a year of transition”, waiting for the arrival of a Kylian Mbappé of whom there is no news at the Bernabéu. AND It seems smarter to keep Ancelotti on the bench this season and not burn another coach with which it is intended to start a project in the medium or long term such as Xabi Alonso. Also, in case things end up going wrong and Carletto leaves for Brazil early because the results are not good, Madrid can always pull Raúl, who has stayed at Castilla waiting for his moment.
Ancelotti will be the fourth foreigner to take the reins of the Seleçao, the first in almost 60 years. The Italian, after nearly thirty years of career on club benches and after being the only one to have won the title of the five major leagues and the Champions League on four occasions, has allowed himself to be seduced by Brazil. The challenge is huge because the five-time world champions are chasing their sixth star after not winning a World Cup since 2002.
