It seems like Brazil is facing a significant decision regarding their national team manager after the heavy 4-1 defeat to Argentina in the World Cup qualifiers. Dorival Junior’s position is clearly under scrutiny, especially after such a one-sided loss, which left a lot of questions about the team’s performance and tactics.
The mention of Carlo Ancelotti as a potential target for July shows the level of ambition within the Brazilian Football Federation, although his current role at Real Madrid makes any negotiations complicated for now. Ancelotti’s experience and track record, especially in high-pressure environments, would certainly make him an attractive option for Brazil, but timing is everything.
It’s interesting that Junior himself admitted that the team’s plans didn’t work, which shows accountability. But with Brazil in fourth place, the pressure will be on to ensure they stay in a strong position to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
What do you think of the potential managerial change? Would Ancelotti be the right fit for Brazil, or do you think a different approach might be needed?
