Goalkeeper Ederson mentioned that the uncertainty regarding the next coach of the Brazil national football team is confusing the team, adding that he and his teammates have discussed the "strong possibility" of Carlo Ancelotti taking over. Ederson told reporters before Brazil's match against Morocco on March 25 that "there is a strong possibility that Ancelotti will take charge."
The Manchester City goalkeeper stated that he spoke to some Brazilian players who have played under Ancelotti at Real Madrid, including Casemiro, Vinicius Junior, and Eder Militao, and noted that they "told me he is an exceptional coach loved by everyone, and he has a very successful career; his resume speaks for itself."
He expressed hope for an agreement regarding the coach to be reached soon, as there are many speculations about whether a Brazilian or a foreign coach will take charge. "We are also in a phase of anxiety and anticipation."
Tite left the position after Brazil's exit in the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Qatar. The Brazilian Football Confederation issued a statement in February denying a report about reaching a verbal agreement with Ancelotti, who is under contract with Real Madrid until 2024.
