How much will Carlo Ancelotti earn as Brazil head coach – report | OneFootball

After years of pursuit and endless speculation, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has finally secured the man they have long been chasing, as Carlo Ancelotti will officially take over as head coach of Brazil starting May 26.

The Italian manager will assume the role once his commitments with Real Madrid in La Liga are fulfilled, marking the end of his legendary spell with the Spanish giants.

Ancelotti’s salary

According to ESPN Brazil (h/t SPORT), Ancelotti has signed a staggering deal that will see him earn €770,000 per month, amounting to over €9.2 million gross annually.

This figure makes him the highest-paid manager in Brazil’s history, more than double what his predecessors Tite and Dorival Junior earned during their respective stints.

The CBF’s persistence has finally paid off, landing a coach who has won everything in European football and is now tasked with guiding the Selecao to World Cup glory.

While some members of his coaching team will accompany him to Brazil, Davide Ancelotti, his trusted assistant and son, will not be part of the transition. Instead, Davide is expected to embark on his own managerial journey, stepping into a head coaching role elsewhere.

Before he dons the iconic yellow of Brazil, Ancelotti remains focused on closing out the season with dignity at Real Madrid.

After an illustrious run that includes multiple trophies and memorable nights at the Santiago Bernabeu, his final act in club football will culminate with La Liga’s conclusion this month.

Immediately following that, on May 26, Ancelotti will make his first official Brazil squad announcement.

The call-up will include players for Brazil’s two upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Paraguay, matches that mark the beginning of his long-term goal: bringing the World Cup back to Brazil.
