Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti has revealed plans to build a new generation of talents capable of winning the 2030 FIFA World Cup, as he returned to Real Madrid’s training complex for a reunion with his former players and staff.
Ancelotti visited Real Madrid City in Valdebebas, where he greeted members of the squad and coaching staff before a training session.
The Italian manager, who previously enjoyed a highly successful spell in charge of Real Madrid, expressed his delight at returning to a familiar environment and reconnecting with people he worked with during his time at the club.
During the visit, Ancelotti also took the opportunity to assess the condition of several Brazilian players currently at Real Madrid, including Vinicius Junior, Endrick, Eder Militao and Rodrygo.
The visit provided Ancelotti with an opportunity to maintain contact with Brazil’s international players while monitoring their physical condition and recovery ahead of upcoming national-team fixtures.
Looking beyond the immediate international schedule, the Brazil manager outlined his long-term plans for the Selecao as the team begins preparing for the 2030 World Cup.
Ancelotti said Brazil needed to develop a new generation of players following the conclusion of the previous World Cup cycle and the departure of some of the country’s established stars.

“We are evaluating young Brazilian players spread all over the world, in Brazil and in Europe, to start programming a new generation that can arrive at the 2030 World Cup with ambition, quality, and readiness,” Ancelotti said.
The experienced coach highlighted the quality of young Brazilian players, particularly those around 20 and 21 years old, who he believes could form an important part of the national team’s future.
Ancelotti and his coaching staff are therefore continuing to monitor Brazilian players across different leagues as they assess potential options for the next World Cup cycle.
The upcoming international friendlies are expected to provide an important opportunity for the manager to evaluate some of those players in a competitive environment.
Brazil are scheduled to face Australia in Townsville on September 25 before meeting the same opponents in Brisbane on September 29. The Selecao will then travel to Kolkata to face India on October 3.
The fixtures will give Ancelotti further opportunities to experiment with his squad, assess emerging players and determine which youngsters can make the step up to international football.
With several years remaining before the 2030 World Cup, the former Real Madrid manager has made it clear that Brazil’s preparations are already focused on creating a balanced and competitive squad.
Ancelotti’s ultimate objective is to combine Brazil’s established stars with emerging talent and build a team capable of competing with the world’s best when the tournament arrives in 2030.
Goal.
