Former Chelsea striker Diego Costa believes outgoing Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has the experience to succeed as Brazil national team coach.
The Italian head coach will leave Los Blancos when the 2024-25 campaign comes to a close and has already been confirmed as Brazil’s new manager in preparation for the 2026 World Cup.
Speaking with The National, Costa stated that Ancelotti’s style of football best suits Brazil.

“Ancelotti has a big name, and his resume is extensive. In Brazil right now, people have a lot of doubts about the players and the coach.
“So, in the end, they should bring in someone who’s won so much. That would bring some peace to the players, ease the tension there is here in Brazil. Ancelotti will undoubtedly help.
“Brazil has never had a foreign coach, but things are changing and he can handle the pressure.”
