“The renewal before the World Cup is very important for Brazilian football as a whole. I’ve always said I believe in medium- to long-term work.
“In structured work. In a short time, he (Ancelotti) has already demonstrated his quality, his competence, as a coach and as a person. He’s perfect for the Brazilian national team and for the CBF.
“We want this work to continue and for him to have more time to dedicate to Brazilian football.”
