Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has been linked with a move to become Brazil’s next national team head coach.

A bulk of the Brazil players are keen to work under Ancelotti, and Real Madrid attacker Vinicius Jr, has joined his national teammates to endorse Ancelotti.

“For me, it’s really hard to talk about it because if I have him with Brazil I would lose him in Real Madrid and if I have him with Real Madrid I would not have him with Brazil,” Vinicius told reporters after training on Thursday.

“Ancelotti is the best coach I ever had. He is very fond of me and that sentiment is mutual. I believe he would be very helpful here as he is in Real Madrid.”

Vinicius said every manager would be pleased to be in charge of the star-studded Brazilian team.

“Our group is a very talented one and everyone gets along with each other really well, there is no problems in the changing room and he would fit greatly. I believe he would love to come,” Vinicius said.

“Ancelotti is the best because of the way he treats me and how he deals with young players. His knowledge and the way that he teaches.

“He is also very fond of the Brazilian players. The great Ronaldo Nazario talks a lot about him, he tells me that Ancelotti is also the best coach he had in his career.

“Being with Ancelotti every day I see that. That’s why he is so respected.”
