Brazil's president has questioned the Carlo Ancelotti's appointment as the next Brazil boss and suggested he should focus on solving Italy's problems.

Incumbent Head of State of Brazil, Lula de Silva, has questioned Ancelotti's credentials and suggested he should focus on solving Italy's problems instead, as the Azzurri didn't even qualify for the 2022 World Cup. In contrast, President Lula expressed admiration for interim manager Fernando Diniz and praised his creativity and personality.

“He was never Italy’s coach. Why doesn’t he solve Italy’s problems, they didn’t even play in the last World Cup?” he questioned during an interview on the SBT channel.

The president believes that Brazil's recent difficulties in major tournaments are primarily due to a lack of high-quality players rather than coaching deficiencies.

"The problem is not Diniz; the problem is that we don't have the quality of players that we had in other times," he stated.
