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 him the green light.

Cafu, the Brazilian football legend and one of the best right-backs in history, openly expressed his happiness about the possibility of Ancelotti taking charge of Seleção: “Like you, I don’t know for sure if Ancelotti will come to Brazil. I really don’t know if he will leave Real Madrid, stay, or not. But I do know that Ancelotti is a very intelligent coach who has succeeded and won trophies everywhere he has been. We are very hopeful that he will decide to come to Brazil. Coach, if you come to Brazil, we will gladly welcome you.”

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