BRAZIL have reached an agreement with Carlo Ancelotti for him to become their next manager, according to reports.
The Real Madrid boss has been heavily linked to the job since Tite stepped down as manager after the 2022 World Cup.

Ancelotti has refused to be drawn into speculation on his future despite his Real deal expiring at the end of the season.
That means he will be free to speak to other teams in January as he will have entered the last six months of his contract.
Brazil are believed to have made contact with Ancelotti and their governing body the CBF has received written agreement from the Italian, report The Athletic.
Real Madrid may try to intervene by offering Ancelotti a new contract – as long as he performs well this season.
Los Blancos ended the 2022-23 campaign trophyless so Ancelotti is under pressure to win LaLiga and the Champions League.
Sources close to the club suggest Ancelotti has been sounded out over a new deal but it appears he is preparing Brazil as an alternative.
Reports in Brazil claim the CBF understand they have “legal guarantees” Ancelotti will join.
Brazil are reportedly considering offering Ancelotti’s son Davide a coaching role.
