How much will Carlo Ancelotti earn as Brazil coach?

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) officially announced on Monday appointment of Carlo Ancelotti as the new head coach of the Brazil national team, ushering in a new era with the 2026 FIFA World Cup in sight. The Italian manager, currently still in charge of Real Madrid, will begin his new role on May 26, once the LaLiga EA Sports season concludes.

According to Globoesporte, Ancelotti will sign an initial 14-month contract, with an option to extend after the World Cup. Although the CBF has not disclosed official figures, outlets such as El País and Diario AS report that the veteran coach will earn close to €10 million net per season.

The contract also includes a €5 million bonus if he manages to lead Brazil to World Cup glory in the United States in 2026.

One of the most striking elements of the deal is a special clause arranging a friendly match between Brazil and Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu, as a tribute to the most successful manager in Los Blancos history.

Ancelotti's first match in charge of Brazil will be on June 6, when the Seleção face Ecuador in the opening round of South American World Cup Qualifiers. They will then host Paraguay on June 10 in São Paulo. His first squad list will be announced on May 27.
