There ain’t too many such challenging jobs like being the head coach of Brazil in football. So when decorated Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti accepted the offer of the five-time world champions, we all knew a bumpy road was ahead of him. Copa America 2024 is the starting point for Ancelotti and the SelecaoHowever, no one could imagine he would face his first enemy even before starting to work with the team. And that harsh criticism would come straight from none other than the president of Brazil himself!Yes, believe it or not, Lula da Silva raised his voice against Ancelotti.”He was never the coach of Italy. Then why doesn’t he solve the problem of Italy, which didn’t even manage to qualify for the last World Cup,” Lula asked publicly in an interview for SBT.🚨 Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (President of Brazil): Carlo Ancelotti? Why was he never coach of Italy? Why not solve the problem of Italy, which didn’t even play in the last World Cup?” pic.twitter.com/ab9tw95nk3— Real Madrid XI (@AljmasyDawd) July 6, 2023 Until Ancelotti arrives in Brazil, the caretaking role will be in the hands of a homegrown tactician Fernando Diniz, who has the president’s support.”I like Diniz’s creativity, his personality. I think this is a good chance for him and I’m sure he will make the most of it,” Lula said.##NAJAVA_MECA_7356955##But Diniz will not solve the problem of Brazilian football so easily either, the chief of state believes.”Diniz is not a problem. The problem is that today we don’t have quality players like before. We are not in a good position. Boys leave Brazil at the age of 16-17 and return to the country at 36-37. In other words, we sell top talents, and we hire them again when they are retired”, concluded the politician.
