Ancelotti Signs as New Brazil National Team Coach

Carlo Ancelotti has signed the contract that makes him the new coach of Brazil's national team. The Italian manager will take charge of the five-time world champions immediately after concluding the league season with Real Madrid on May 25. The match against Real Sociedad at Santiago Bernabéu this coming Sunday will mark the end of the Reggiolo native's chapter at Chamartín, where he will be succeeded by Xabi Alonso, and the beginning of a new era for the Italian, whom the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has successfully courted after months of pursuit.
