Brazil's New Coach Ancelotti Begins Work: First Training Session Highlights and Absences On June 3, 2025, Carlo Ancelotti, the newly appointed coach of the Brazilian national football team, conducted his first training session. The event, held at the CBF Academy, attracted over 100 journalists, eager to witness the start of Ancelotti's tenure. The session lasted only 15 minutes, a carefully controlled period for media observation. The video shows Ancelotti engaging in conversations with various players, showcasing his communicative style. However, three players were notably absent: Marquinhos and Beraldo, both champions of Europe with PSG, and Carlos Augusto from Inter Milan. Their absence adds an element of intrigue to the start of Ancelotti's leadership. Ancelotti faces the immediate challenge of readying the team for two crucial World Cup qualifiers. Brazil will play against Ecuador on June 5th in Guayaquil and Paraguay on June 10th in São Paulo. As one journalist commented, "The short timeframe presents a significant challenge for Ancelotti and the team." The upcoming matches are critical for Brazil's World Cup 2026 qualification campaign. Ancelotti's ability to quickly integrate the team will be a key factor in their success. Despite the absences and the short time frame, the atmosphere in the video appears positive, suggesting a promising start to Ancelotti's Brazilian adventure.
