How did Ancelotti get to Brazil? FIFA has launched an official investigation!

Another incident that has caused a stir in the world of football: the appointment of the famous Italian specialist Carlo Ancelotti to the Brazilian national team has been officially investigated by FIFA. The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) confirmed that it had received an official letter from FIFA regarding this investigation.

The main reason for the FIFA investigation is the possible violation of international regulations on agency activities during Ancelotti's transfer to Brazil. In particular, Ancelotti's representative Diego Fernandez intended to receive a commission of 1.2 million euros without having an agency license.

The letter sent by FIFA states:

"Mr. Diego Fernandez is not currently registered as an agent, but he actively participated in the transfer of Carlo Ancelotti from Real Madrid to the Brazilian national team and provided agency services."

This situation is contrary to FIFA's new agent regulations that will come into effect in 2023. According to it, only persons with an official license can provide agency services.

FIFA has requested the Brazilian Football Confederation to provide the following:

• Information on all negotiations and meetings in which Diego Fernandes participated.
• Any contracts signed by Fernandes.
• Financial statements on the amounts paid.
• An official statement from the CBF on the matter.

The CBF's response provided the following information regarding the investigation:

"Negotiations to bring Carlo Ancelotti to the Brazilian national team took place during the previous management of the organization. All agreements were made on the basis of confidential contracts. The current administration is investigating the matter internally."

Meanwhile, Ancelotti's representative Diego Fernandes also commented on the matter. He insists that he acted as a consultant, not an agent:

“Due to the very short time frame in which the negotiations took place, I did not have time to register as an agent with FIFA. I will register as an official agent in the coming days and then I hope to receive a fee for my services.”

This incident is causing a lot of discussion in the football world. This fact indicates the need to reconsider not only the appointments related to the Brazilian national team, but also the entire football agency system.
