Brazilian football legend Cafu shared his opinion about national team head coach Carlo Ancelotti. According to him, under the Italian specialist’s guidance, Brazil has enough potential to win the 2026 World Cup.
“Of course, there are still some questions in defense, but when I watch Brazil play, I am confident they have what it takes to win,” Cafu said.
He emphasized that Ancelotti has both the experience and a deep understanding of football:
“We all know how Carlo Ancelotti works. He is shaping the team in his own style, he just needs more time. Unfortunately, there is very little time to work with the national team — that’s the biggest problem.”
According to Cafu, Ancelotti’s trust in team leaders is a crucial factor:
“He likes repetition and system in training. He is calm, composed, and reliable. Appointing Casemiro as captain shows his belief in the player’s leadership qualities. They worked together at Real Madrid and know each other very well. This is a big advantage for the team.”
In conclusion, Cafu expressed confidence that Brazil will return to its golden era under Ancelotti:
“He has reunited the team. If there is time and patience, this Brazil can make history again,” he added.
