There is a lack of confidence in the leadership of Brazil's World Cup-winning captain.

 

Five Champions Leagues, three FIFA Club World Cups and four times FIFA Club Coach of the Year awards. There are many more awards in the pipeline. You must have understood the name by now; I am talking about Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti. It is said that he is going to leave Real to become Brazil's coach. However, there are still many calculations to be made.

Brazil wants to get this Italian mastermind at any cost to end the World Cup drought. However, Cafu, the captain who won the title for Brazil in the 2002 World Cup, is very reluctant to have a foreign coach. He does not have much confidence in Ancelotti either. He rather sees a Brazilian coach as the solution to end the World Cup drought of Neymar and Vinicius.

Before Ancelotti took charge, Cafu reminded him of Brazil's 5 World Cup victories. He said, 'If Ancelotti is elected, we will welcome him. But we are the only team to have won the World Cup five times without a foreign coach. We have always had a local coach, that's the thing. It's not that a foreign coach should come to the national team. But I'll bet on a Brazilian coach for this World Cup.'

Cafu added, 'Why? There are a year and a half left before the tournament. So I want to give a coach the opportunity to plan and build a team to win the World Cup. By 2030, considering the long qualifying period, a foreign coach with four years of experience can do the job.'

Of course, Cafu also praised Ancelotti, 'Ancelotti is an extraordinary coach. In fact, he is not only a coach, he was like a father, a friend and a brother at Milan. Both on and off the field. He knows how to teach the lessons of matches and training sessions. He takes care of his players with love. He is a coach who has won wherever he has gone. So he can help the national team win.'
