Kaka expresses desire to join Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil backroom staff

Kaka has revealed his ambition to reunite with Carlo Ancelotti by joining the Italian manager’s backroom staff with the Brazil national team.

After a 30-year career in club football, managing several top clubs across Italy, France, Spain, and England, Ancelotti is now set to take on international football at the twilight of his managerial career.

Earlier this month, the Brazilian Football Confederation confirmed that the 65-year-old will officially join the national team after managing Real Madrid in their final La Liga game of the 2024/25 season.

As Ancelotti prepares to embark on this new journey, one of his former players at AC Milan and Brazilian football legend, Kaka, has expressed his eagerness to reunite with the Italian manager.

Kaka, who retired from professional football in 2017, is keen to work as an assistant to the outgoing Madrid boss within the Selecao setup.

Speaking to Caze TV, the 43-year-old said: “If the opportunity arises, I’m ready to return to the Selecao. I’m prepared. Since 2017 I wanted to prepare myself.

“I took business courses in sports at Harvard, I took the coach course at CBF, I have experience in national team, World Cup.”

Ancelotti will take charge of Los Blancos for the final time this Saturday, as they face Real Sociedad in their last league fixture, having already conceded the title to arch-rivals Barcelona.
