But Brazil’s national team coordinator, Rodrigo Caetano, has said Ancelotti could be in charge for the next World Cup.

Caetano said: “It is now up to us to emphasize the need for a cycle that proceeds normally, with a little more calmness; continuing our work with the coach through the 2030 World Cup while making the necessary adjustments.

“May we have at least a minimum of tranquility to move forward and prepare for the next World Cup.”
