Dominating South America, Brazil s new coach Ancelotti was surrounded by Argentine coaches before he took office

On May 12, 2025, Brazil officially announced that Ancelotti, as the new coach of the national team, will lead the team to the 2026 US-Canada-Mexico World Cup. This is also his first time to leave Europe to coach, and the Brazilian national team has also put down his dignity and chose a foreign coach for the first time.

In the past 10 years, Brazil has almost no famous coach. Ancelotti's predecessor Dorivar was selected by the Brazilian Football Association not because of his record, but because of his rich coaching experience in China. The proud Brazil has always been unwilling to give up the face of the football kingdom. How could a dignified Brazil have no chance? As a result, it was a failure on the World Cup stage again and again.

The current European giant Brazilian coaches are almost extinct. The only famous Samba coaches we remember are 70-year-old Luxenberg and 76-year-old Scolari and others. In the past 20 years, Brazil's football dominance has been gradually weakening, and Brazilian coaches are gradually fading.

Compared with Brazilian coaches, they are becoming more and more forgotten. Their arch-rivals Argentine head coaches are blooming everywhere. There are top 10 South America, and Argentina is the king. All seven national teams have chosen Argentine coaches. According to the rules of South America, the top six of the group will directly qualify, and the seventh place will play in the intercontinental play-offs. In other words, only three teams in South America will miss the World Cup. According to the current ranking, Bolivia and Peru may become teams that miss it, and they just didn't use the Argentine coach.

The only exception is Brazil, and Samba King uses Argentine coaches and thinks it’s magical.

Ancelotti had never coached Brazil in a game, and he was surrounded by the head coach from the next door.

Last year in the Copa America, the four teams that won the first place in the group all used Argentine coaches. Coach Blue and White is injecting new vitality into the entire South American football world. Scaloni brought Argentina to the top of the world, and his assistant team also includes Ayala, Aimal, Samuel, etc., and they may also be the only one in the future.

70-year-old madman Bielsa has coached Uruguay for two years after leaving Europe. Ecuador, who was infamous Beca when he invited players, is currently ranked second in South America than Brazil. Paraguay invited Alfaro as the head coach last year to build a steel defense line, and the World Cup qualifier is close.

If we expand our attention to the entire American continent, Pochettino is the head coach of the United States, Mascherano cooperates with Messi again in Miami, Gabriel Milito coaches Atletico Minero, Suverdia is the head coach of Sao Paulo, Gago is the head coach of the Mexican team Guadalajara, Martin Palermo coaches Paraguay Olympia...

Once upon a time, they had to drive the ducks and put Maradona as the head coach of the national team, but now they have a reserve of local coaches second only to Spain and Germany. Argentina will not have to worry about excellent coaches in the next ten years, but Brazil is forced into a desperate situation.

Can Ancelotti lead Brazil to success?

A cold knowledge, the winner of the past 22 World Cup, and the head coaches are all from their own country.
