Although a contract has not yet been officially signed between the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) and Carlo Ancelotti, sources cited by ESPN Brazil indicate that arrangements are being made behind the scenes for the coach`s arrival in Rio de Janeiro. The anticipated date for his arrival is May 26th, which would be just two days after his expected departure from Real Madrid.
This timing is reportedly planned to allow Ancelotti to be in position to manage the Seleção for their two upcoming World Cup qualifying matches. These crucial games are scheduled against Ecuador on June 3rd and Paraguay on June 8th.
