Ancelotti's start as a Brazil coach: 0-0 against Ecuador enthusiastic!
Guayaquil, Ecuador - Carlo Ancelotti has taken on his new role as a trainer of the Brazilian national team after a turbulent phase. This change followed directly on the bitter 1: 4 defeat against Argentina, which was doomed to the previous coach Dorival Júnior, which was released. Ancelotti's debut, which took place on June 6, 2025, started anything but promising: Brazil played only 0-0 in the World Cup qualification against Ecuador. The match took place in the Estadio Monumental Banco Pichincha in Guayaquil, where, despite several occasions, the Seleção could not score a goalless start for the time being.
In the table of the South America qualification, Brazil takes fourth place with 22 points from 15 games. The first six teams qualify directly for the 2026 World Cup, which is held in the USA, Canada and Mexico. The seventh place has to go to the relegation. After the draw against Ecuador, the next important game for Brazil is already coming up: next Tuesday the national team will meet Paraguay, while Ecuador will compete against Peru.
offspring and return of routine
Another central topic remains the return of superstar Neymar. The star player was not in the squad because he recovered from an injury. However, Ancelotti has already announced that he would like to rely on Neymar in the future, who has no longer played for Brazil since October 2023.
a look into the past
Carlo Ancelotti, who previously celebrated success with renowned clubs such as FC Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, was acted as a possible candidate as a national coach in Brazil after the team needed a new leadership after an unexpected World Cup in Qatar.

In contrast, successfully at Real Madrid, where he won the Champions League 2022 and the Spanish championship.
The football world remains excited about the development under Ancelotti, especially how he will adjust the team to the upcoming challenges. Samir Xaud, who has been President of the Brazilian Football Association (CBF) since the end of May, will support him while the fans are waiting for a return of the hoped -for success.
