According to reports from ESPN, the Italian tactician will earn €10 million per year under the new deal, making him one of the highest-paid national team coaches in the world.
A Major Commitment
Ancelotti, who took over the Seleção in 2025 following the departure of Dorival Júnior, has now committed his future to Brazil through the 2030 FIFA World Cup cycle. This long-term extension signals confidence from both the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) and the legendary coach.
The renewal comes after a solid start to Ancelotti’s tenure, with Brazil showing improved organisation and results in recent friendlies and qualifiers.
What This Means
- Stability: Brazil now have clear leadership heading into the 2026 World Cup in North America and beyond.
- Ambition: The CBF is clearly investing heavily in Ancelotti to deliver success at the 2026 and 2030 World Cups.
- High Stakes: With a salary of €10 million annually, expectations will be extremely high for the five-time Champions League-winning coach to deliver major silverware.
Ancelotti becomes the latest high-profile European coach to commit long-term to a South American national team, following in the footsteps of several successful foreign appointments in recent years.
