The Italian coach, who is still with Real Madrid, once coached the 2002 World Cup winner at AC Milan and hopes that he will be able to communicate better with his new set of players.  <a href="https://www.cnnbrasil.com.br/esportes/futebol/selecao-brasileira/alvo-de-ancelotti-para-a-comissao-kaka-fala-sobre-chegada-do-treinador/"></a></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Ancelotti will take up his post in Brazil after this season. The big goal is to win the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico. </p><p>The 65-year-old worked successfully with Kaka at Milan from 2003 to 2009. Among other things, they won the Champions League and the Scudetto in Serie A. In 2007, the attacking midfielder was awarded the Ballon d'Or. </p><p>Kaka responded to the announcement of Ancelotti's appointment by the CBF with <a href="https://x.com/KAKA/status/1922058307792941067" target="_blank">a post on X</a>, in which he wrote: "Welcome, Coach Ancelotti. May God bless you." <a href="https://www.goal.com/de/listen/er-soll-schon-einen-tag-nach-dem-letzten-spiel-mit-real-madrid-anfangen-carlo-ancelotti-hat-einen-neuen-trainerjob/blt1e8a2cef1624eb98"></a></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="pt" dir="ltr">Seja muito bem vindo, Mister <a href="https://twitter.com/MrAncelotti?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@MrAncelotti</a> !

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>In 2017, Kaka ended his playing career after a spell with Orlando City in the MLS. He then obtained his coaching license.</p><p>Ancelotti's previous assistant, his son Davide, will not be accompanying the successful coach to Brazil. Instead, he is expected to take up his first head coach position in the near future. Rumour has it that Bundesliga club RB Leipzig are interested in him, but <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/rangers-ancelotti-carlo-assistant-coach-son-davide-steven-gerrard-ibrox/blt23694a319345d479" target="_blank">Scottish side Rangers are said to have the best chance at the moment</a>. However, he's <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/carlo-ancelotti-s-real-madrid-exit-confirmed-taking-brazil-job-xabi-alonso-waits-in-the-wings/blt36afd84492c5c5c0" target="_blank">expected to assist his father</a> for next month's qualifying games. </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Ancelotti will manage his last game for Real Madrid on May 25 in LaLiga against Real Sociedad. He will then head straight to Brazil to take charge of his new team for the first time on June 6 in a World Cup qualifier in Ecuador. </p>
