Ancelotti

Simply as Brazil’s pursuit of Carlo Ancelotti seemed back on track, brand-new legal problem might thwart everything when again.

Indeed, according to AS, Ednaldo Rodrigues, president of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), might be ousted in the coming days as the Supreme Federal Court (STF) resumes a 2023 scams investigation versus him.

Rodrigues is accused of manipulating CBF’s electoral guidelines and returning to power under doubtful scenarios.

The STF has actually discovered evidence suggesting the document that cleared him of misbehavior– and reinstated him three months ago– was deceitful.

The case hinges on a new forensic report by handwriting expert Jacqueline Tirotti which indicates falsified signatures, particularly that of former vice president Antonio Carlos Nunes de Lima.

This legal twist might once again stall Brazil’s strategy to appoint Carlo Ancelotti as nationwide group coach.

If Rodrigues is removed, no brand-new training agreement, including Ancelotti’s, can be finalised till a brand-new CBF president is in place. This would likely need brand-new elections, potentially after Brazil’s matches versus Ecuador and Paraguay next month.

Brazil have actually been pursuing Ancelotti ever since they were gotten rid of from the FIFA World Cup 2022, leading to Tite’s removal. Having made overtures to hire him in 2023, the Selecao gave up and brought in Dorival Junior as manager.

A number of months ago, however, Dorival was relieved of his duties and the CBF returned for Ancelotti again.

Regardless of a current obstacle, everything appeared to be on track for the Genuine Madrid employer to leave the club and take control of the reins of the Brazilian national team. However this newest advancement concering Rodrigues might jeopardise the relocation.
