Fernando Diniz will combine the benches of the Seleçao and Fluminense until June 2024
The president of the CBF, Ednaldo Rodrigues, assures that Ancelotti will lead Brazil in the Copa América to be held in the United States
The Confederação Brasileira de Futebol (CBF) put some sanity in the soap opera that Tite’s succession at the helm of the Seleçao has turned into. And, six months after the departure of the gaucho coach, he has decided to officially appoint a new coach, Fernando Diniz, which will be on an interim basis until June 2024 just before the Copa América begins in the United States. So, according to the president of the Confederaçao, ednaldo rodriguesCarlo Ancelotti He will have already left the Real Madrid bench to take the reins of the ‘Canarinha’ in the continental tournament.
Starting this Wednesday, when it will be presented at the entity’s headquarters in Barra da Tijuca (west of Rio de Janeiro), Fernando Diniz He will combine the direction of Brazil with that of Fluminense.
“It is a dream for anyone, an honor and enormous pride to be able to provide this service to the Seleçao. It is a joint effort between the CBF and Fluminense and I am convinced that we have everything we need to make this go well”declared the 49-year-old technician.
What is most striking in all these movements is the conviction on the part of the president of the CBF that Carlo Ancelottiwith whom he only has a verbal agreement, will leave the Real Madrid bench in June 2024, something he has refused to do now, to be the new Brazilian coach.
The Italian coach has not yet defined with the Confederaçao issues as basic as his salary or the training of his coaching staff. And there is a matter that is not minor, the Copa América will start in June when he will still have a contract with Real Madrid, if he has not been previously dismissed.
obsession with CarlettoAs if he were the only coach on the entire planet capable of leading Brazil, it becomes disconcerting. The CBF does not care that the Italian has a current contract with Real Madrid.
To all this, the debut of Fernando Diniz in charge of the ‘Canarinha’ will take place on the FIFA date of September when Brazil will begin to play the South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
