Brazil's FA president announces he will wait until May 25 for Ancelotti's reply


The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has so far prioritized Carlo Ancelotti as national team coach. They will wait patiently for Ancelotti's reply before May 25.


May 25 happened to be the day when the Brazilian team announced the roster for the friendly match in June. They will play two friendlies between June 12 and 20 against opponents to be determined.


"We have to move on now and look around. We hope that the Brazilian team will get a clearer position on the other side in May, maybe even in the moments before the selection on May 25," CBF president Edenardo said. Rodriguez confirmed Tuesday.


In addition to vigorously pursuing Ancelotti, Edenardo also said that they will imagine other alternatives. "There's always a plan B," he told reporters unequivocally. "We made a commitment to Brazilian society and we must listen to the voice of the media and society."


It is understood that Edenardo's "Plan B" includes Fluminense coach Fernando Diniz, Palmeiras coach Abel Ferreira, and Fenerbahce coach Jorge Jesus.


"However, before I put plan B into practice, I want to exhaust every possibility of plan A," Edenardo added later.


Although Edenardo did not disclose the specific name, but Ancelotti is his "A plan" has long been known to everyone. Ancelotti Minshaf's contract with Real Madrid has expired, and he has also insisted in all public places that he will fulfill the terms of his contract.


"Brazil want me as coach, I'm flattered and excited about it. But you have to respect the current contract," Ancelotti said recently. "I want to honorably fulfill a contract until the end."
