Carlo Ancelotti is likely to take over as Brazil’s next manager, according to Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson.
The Real Madrid manager is expected to leave the Spanish side at the end of this campaign.
“I spoke with Casemiro, Vinicius and Militão,” Ederson explained.
“It is a great possibility that Ancelotti arrives, so we will try to make it happen as soon as possible. I have been told that he is exceptional, everyone likes him, he is a winner.
“We’ll see in the near future if that’s the case.”
It is very likely that Carlo Ancelotti will be the next coach of Brazil, according to Ederson
Ederson said he has spoken to his teammates from Brazil and they have a good idea about Ancelotti’s future.
Ancelotti is one of the most respected managers in soccer, but he has never had a job at international level.
Reports in February suggested that Ancelotti had already verbally agreed to the role, but the CBF later moved to deny it.
A statement said: The Brazilian Football Confederation reports that the news released on Friday that Real Madrid coach, Italian Carlo Ancelotti, is the new coach of the Brazilian team is unfounded.
President Ednaldo Rodrigues maintains the statements made on Wednesday, after the draw for the Copa do Brasil matches.
“At the time, the official dismissed speculation and said that the matter is being dealt with transparently and the chosen coach will be announced at the appropriate time.”
Brazil was knocked out of the World Cup in Qatar at the quarterfinal stage, suffering the heartbreak of a loss on penalties to Croatia.
Manager Tite later confirmed that he would be leaving, and while Brazil is still officially without a permanent boss.

Ancelotti himself has remained silent on the subject.
When asked about the possibility of taking charge of Brazil last month, he said: ‘My situation is very clear. I have a contract with Real Madrid until 2024.’
Ederson will be hoping a change in boss brings a change of luck for him, with Liverpool’s Alisson the preferred choice in goal for previous manager Tite.
The Man City goalkeeper continues to fight on three fronts for trophies this season, with Pep Guardiola’s side in the running for the Premier League title, the FA Cup and the Champions League quarter-final.
