Ederson says he hope Real Madrid boss Carlos Ancelotti takes up the job at Brazil National team.
Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson believes that Carlo Ancelotti will be the best person for Brazil job following the exit of Tite after the World Cup.
Ancelotti is under contract with Spanish club Real Madrid until the end of next season and that Brazil’s confederation recently denied it had reached a deal with the 63-year-old Italian.
Brazil’s national team players seem confident that Ancelotti could be their next coach. It’s been a subject of discussion among the squad ahead this weekend’s friendly at Morocco.
“I was discussing this with Casemiro, Vinicius Junior, [Eder] Militão. There is a big possibility that he comes,” Ederson said in a press conference on Tuesday.
The job has been vacant since Tite’s six-and-a-half-year tenure ended after Brazil lost to Croatia in the quarterfinals of the World Cup in December.
Ederson said he and his Brazil teammates see Ancelotti as “an exceptional coach, everyone in his group likes him, a victorious career.”
“Just look at his CV. We will know shortly whether he will be here or not,” Ederson said. “I hope we can have a new coach quickly. I feel the anticipation too because there’s too much speculation. Is it a Brazilian or a foreign coach? We are also living that phase of anxiety.”
The Italian led the Real Madrid side to Champions League glory beating PSG, Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool in the tournament.
Ancelotti also lifted the Spanish La Liga last season before claiming the world club cup this season.
