CBF keeps Carlo Ancelotti and ignores a millionaire fine of R$6 million for termination
Even with the team’s elimination in the round of 16 of the World Cup, in a confrontation against Norway, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) maintains the conviction that Carlo Ancelotti will continue in command of the Brazilian team for the next world cycle.
The highest entity of Brazilian football demonstrates full confidence in the Italian coach’s methodology, guaranteeing his permanence for future challenges. The internal perception points to the need for stability and a long-term project for the development of the national team.

Details about Ancelotti’s contract termination clause in the Brazilian National Team
If there was a possible reconsideration of the current strategy – something that is not on the agenda –, the Brazilian Football Confederation would need to pay approximately R$6 million to end the relationship with the coach, whose contract extends until 2030.
The strong support for Carlo Ancelotti is so significant that the organization’s leadership does not even consider the possibility of activating the termination clause, reinforcing the total certainty of his permanence for the next World Cup cycle. This fine of R$6 million, although significant, represents a tiny fraction of the total investment in the coach, who annually receives more than R$55 million, demonstrating the solidity of the CBF’s commitment to the long-term project.
Internally, the management of the Brazilian Football Confederation is betting that the continuity of the Italian coach’s work is essential to achieve more positive and lasting results for the Brazilian team, aiming for the next World Cup.

CBF strategy prioritizes stability in technical command
The CBF’s internal assessment points out that the previous cycle of the 2026 World Cup was negatively impacted by frequent changes in the technical command of the national team.
It is important to mention that, before Ancelotti’s arrival, the team had Ramon Menezes as interim coach and, later, Fernando Diniz took over the Brazilian team for a period, combining the role with his work at Fluminense.
One of the proofs of the CBF’s complete confidence in Ancelotti’s project is the fact that he holds the position of coach with the highest global salary, with annual salaries exceeding R$55 million.
