Ancelotti 'excited' to become Brazil coach, says Madrid's Militao

The 64-year-old has a season remaining on his contract with Real Madrid, which he has said he would like to honour, and will take over Brazil in time for the Copa America, in the United States from June 2024.

The prize football-mad Brazil will want one of the most successful coaches in European football to deliver is a sixth World Cup trophy in 2026. It would be the first since 2002.

Real Madrid centre-back Eder Militao spoke about his current coach and his expectations with the 'Canarinha'. "He always joked and told us that he was already in charge of the Brazilian national team. We didn't know much because it was a complicated subject.

"He is our coach at Real Madrid and he is going to be our coach in Brazil. He is very happy and excited. He is going to give his best. I'm very happy for the affection he has for me, not just for me, but for what he transmits to everyone," he added.
