Ancelotti aims to make history with Brazil
Cape Argus
|October 14, 2025
NO country has ever won the World Cup with a foreign-born coach, but Carlo Ancelotti said on Monday that there is "always a first time” as he eyes glory with Brazil.
-
The Italian became Brazil's first overseas coach in six decades when he took over in May and helped the five-time champions secure their place at next summer's World Cup. Brazil face Japan in a friendly in Tokyo on Tuesday, fresh from a 5-0 hammering of South Korea in Seoul last week.
Ancelotti said he is aiming to make history for himself and his team at the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
"My goal is to give my best for the Brazil national team, to try to get them to perform at their best and to win the World Cup," he said.
"Of course, no foreign-born coach has ever won the World Cup, but there is always a first time in life."
Brazil made hard work of qualifying, finishing fifth in the South American table.
