Not only Zidane, Enrique, Mourinho and Ancelotti, the names of Argentina’s Marcelo Gallardo and Mauricio Pochettino have also come up in the Brazilian press. But Ancelotti himself has previously played down the prospect of becoming Brazil’s coach, saying, ‘Thanks for being interested. My position is clear. I am still here (Real Madrid). And I will never tell Real, my exciting journey with them is over.’
Pep Guardiola said a few years ago that he wanted to take charge of a national team after stepping down as Manchester City coach. Many saw Guardiola as the next coach of Brazil. Guardiola later dismissed the possibility himself.
