The Italian revealed himself to be “very happy” to have signed an extension at the five-time world champions and admitted his ambition is to “take Brazil back to the summit of the world rankings.”
“From the first day I felt the love and the importance football has in this country,” stated Ancelotti upon penning his new deal. ” For this past year we have been working to take the Brazilian national team back to the summit of the world rankings.”
