Fernando Diniz will join the benches of Seleçao and Fluminense until June 2024
The president of the CBF, Ednaldo Rodrigues, assures that Ancelotti will lead Brazil in the Copa América which will be played in the United States
The Confederação Brasileira de Futebol (CBF) put some common sense into the telenovela that transformed Tite’s succession at the helm of the Seleçao. And, six months after the departure of the gaucho coach, he decided to officially appoint a new coach, Fernando Diniz, which will be interim until June 2024, shortly before the start of the Copa América in the United States. So, according to the president of the Confederaçao, ednaldo rodriguesCharles Ancelotti He will have already left the Real Madrid bench to take the reins of the ‘Canarinha’ in the continental tournament.
Starting this Wednesday, when it will be presented at the entity’s headquarters in Barra da Tijuca (west of Rio de Janeiro), Fernando Diniz He will combine the direction of Brazil with that of Fluminense.
“It is anyone’s dream, an honor and a huge pride to be able to provide this service to the Seleçao. It is a joint effort between CBF and Fluminense and I am convinced that we have what it takes to make it go well.”said the 49-year-old coach.
What is most striking in all these movements is the conviction on the part of the president of the CBF that Charles Ancelottiwith which he has only a verbal agreement, he will leave the Real Madrid bench in June 2024, which he has refused to do now, to be the new Brazilian coach.
The Italian coach has not yet defined fundamental issues with Confederaçao such as his salary or the training of his coaching staff. And there is an equally important issue, the Copa América will start in June when he still has a contract with Real Madrid, if he hasn’t been fired before.
obsession with CarlettoAs if he’s the only coach on the entire planet who can lead Brazil, it becomes baffling. The CBF doesn’t care that the Italian has an ongoing contract with Real Madrid.
To all this, the debut of Fernando Diniz responsible for the ‘Canarinha’ will take place on the FIFA date in September, when Brazil will start playing the South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
