Coach Carlo Ancelotti is leaving soccer giants Real Madrid. He will become manager of Brazil. He called being the Brazil coach "an important challenge". He said he wanted "to finish this final stretch and this fantastic adventure" as Madrid coach. Brazil will be the first national team for Ancelotti to manage. He is one of the most successful managers ever. He is the only coach to win the top five leagues in Europe. He also won the Champions League five times.

Brazil is the most successful national team. It is the only country to win the World Cup five times. Since 2002, it has not reached a final. In 2014, Germany beat Brazil 7-1 in the semi-finals. The head of Brazilian football hopes Ancelotti can change Brazil's luck. He said: "Ancelotti is the greatest coach in history, and now he is…head of the greatest national team on the planet." Ancelotti will coach Brazil in next month's World Cup qualifying games.
