Carlo Ancelotti will leave Real Madrid to become the head coach of Brazil for the Copa America in the USA next summer.
This was confirmed by the president of the Brazilian Football Confederation, Ednaldo Rodrigues.
Rodrigues revealed this while appointing Fluminense boss Fernando Diniz as the team’s interim coach for the next 12 months.
He said: “His (Diniz) game plan is almost similar to that of the coach that will take over at Copa America, Ancelotti.

The Italian has one more season on his contract with Madrid, while the Copa America starts on June 20 in the States.
