CBF and Ancelotti have taken a decisive step towards consolidating the “Canarinha” project. The two sides have reached a verbal agreement to extend the Italian coach’s contract until the 2030 World Cup, which will be held in Spain, Portugal and Morocco. After the holidays, “Carleto” will arrive in Rio de Janeiro this Friday to finalize bureaucratic details and sign a new agreement in February.
Ensuring continuity ahead of the World Cup
Unlike previous processes, the CBF wants to send a message of confidence that the contract extension is not dependent on the outcome of the 2026 World Cup. The management believes that Ancelotti has restored competitiveness and order to the team. Financial details remain on current terms:

-
Salary: Around 10 million euros per year, the highest among national team coaches.
-
Hexa bonus: If the Brazilian team wins the championship in 2026, an additional 5 million euros will be awarded.
-
Lifestyle: The agreement respects the coach’s freedom to split his time between his family in Canada and his base in Brazil.
The road to the 2026 World Cup
Once the deal is completed, Ancelotti will be able to deal with the final challenge before the World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada. Brazil is scheduled to play two high-profile friendlies in March: against France (in Boston on March 26) and Croatia (in Orlando on March 31).
The Selecao lead Group C at the World Cup, making their debut against Morocco on June 11, followed by games against Haiti and Scotland. The goal is clear: by 2030, a sixth star will be embroidered on the chest.
