Ancelotti To Become World’s Highest-Paid International Coach With Brazil Role
Carlo Ancelotti, current manager of Real Madrid, is set to become the highest-paid international football coach after agreeing to manage Brazil’s national team. The Italian will officially take over at the end of May 2025, earning a reported £8 million ($11 million) annually — more than any other international coach.
Ancelotti departs Real Madrid after a lackluster season, with the team trailing Barcelona by seven points and likely finishing without a trophy. Brazil, aiming to revitalize their campaign for the 2026 World Cup, currently sit fourth in the South American qualifiers.
