Amid conflicting rumors about Carlo Ancelotti’s potential departure from Real Madrid and his possible appointment as Brazil’s national team coach, one of Brazil’s football legends has given the green light to Carletto.

Cafu, the Brazilian football legend and one of the best right-backs in football history, openly expressed his happiness about the possibility of Carletto taking charge of Seleção and said: “I’m like you and don’t know exactly whether Ancelotti will come to Brazil or not. I really don’t know if he will leave Real Madrid, stay at Real, or not. But I do know that Carletto is a very smart coach and has succeeded wherever he has gone, winning trophies. We really hope he decides to come to Brazil. Mr. Coach, if you come to Brazil, we are more than ready to welcome you.”

Cafu was a student of Carlo Ancelotti when he played for AC Milan and spent five years under Ancelotti’s coaching. He spoke about those days: “I was lucky to be Carletto’s student for five years at Milan. Five brilliant and unforgettable years.”
