Meanwhile it’s all going wrong (part two) for Brazil. Brazil's football confederation recently sacked head coach Dorival Júnior following a 4-1 defeat to Argentina – their worst ever result in a World Cup qualifier. Dorival was in charge for just 14 months during which results and performances were poor.

The Italian manager is set to leave Real Madrid at the end of the season taking over a Brazil team before the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Brazil struggled in the Conmebol qualifiers. As a result, the national team reportedly hired Carlo Ancelotti as its new World Cup coach. After his arrival, his reported salary quickly sparked reactions on social media.
