After the end of the Qatar World Cup, the former coach of the Brazilian national team, Tite, left his post and won two consecutive World Cups, and the national Brazilian Football Federation plans to hire a high-level coach to coach the Samba Army. Current Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is the number one target of the Brazilian Football Federation. In order to invite Carlo Ancelotti to coach the Brazilian national team, the Brazilian Football Federation appointed Dinis, the coach of the Brazilian Under-20 national team, as the interim coach of the Brazilian national team. However, Dinis led the Brazilian national team to a poor record in the South American qualifiers, and during his tenure, the Brazilian national team only achieved a poor record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses in 6 World Cup qualifiers. Ranked 6th in the South American qualifiers, the poor record is the main reason for the change of coach of the Brazilian national team.
And Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti, who has been waiting for the Brazilian Football Federation, seems to be about to complete a contract extension with his old club Real Madrid. According to a number of Spanish ** broke the news: Galeries Lafayette has offered Ancelotti a two-year contract extension. The Brazilian national team, which has been waiting for Carlo Ancelotti to take over the Samba Army, ended up in vain. And today the Brazilian national team also officially announced the new coach. Rivaldo, the former coach of São Paulo, will be the new coach of the Brazilian national team. The 61-year-old has been in charge of domestic football for 22 years and is a very experienced coach, having led the team to six domestic league titles as a head coach. So far, he has managed 20 domestic clubs in Brazil, and Rivaldo has resigned as Sao Paulo coach in order to accept the Brazilian national team coach.
According to the rules of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers in South America, the top 6 finishers in South America will qualify directly for the World Cup. The Brazilian national team, which is currently in a slump, ranks 6th in the South American region. It is still unknown whether they will be able to directly qualify for the 2026 US-Canada-Mexico World Cup. And Neymar, the number one star of the Brazilian national team, suffered a serious injury and was reimbursed for this season's season. The inability to represent the Brazilian national team in the next few rounds of World Cup qualifying is a big blow for the Samba Army. Therefore, Rivaldo will still face a lot of challenges after becoming the new coach of the Brazilian national team. How to help the team rebuild morale, regain combat effectiveness, help the Samba Army stabilize, and get a ticket to the World Cup is Livaldo's top priority.
If the Brazilian national team does not qualify for the World Cup as the top 6 in the South American qualifiers. They can only compete for a place in the World Cup qualifying play-offs as 7th place. Personally, I think that even if the Brazilian national team performs well in the play-offs and qualifies, for Brazil, the kingdom of football, it is unwilling for fans and ** to qualify for the World Cup in this way.
