The Brazilian Federation is considering appointing the Italian manager Carlo Ancelotti this summer after Junior Dorival Chief Coach was fired By Brazil after the record loss of 4-1 against Argentina in the qualification of the World Cup of Conmebol. This rumor already emerged in the first months of 2023 when the Brazilian Federation wanted to hire the Italian coach for the Copa América 2024, but then Ancelotti promised Real Madrid with a new agreement and decided to remain in charge of the Spanish giants.
The idea of hiring one of the managers with most of the titles in the history of the game is still in the air, but it would still become something unusual since only three non -Brazilian coaches were hired for work, and all managers who won the five world glasses with Brazil were also Brazil. It is a general preconception of this sport that national teams must be administered, in most cases, by coaches of the country they represent, but the latest examples of Thomas Tuchel for England and Mauricio Pochettino for the US national team.
While most of these works are filled, we have fun and agree with the United States, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and Uruguay with an ideal European coach:
Argentina: Pep Guardiola
Lionel Scaloni has done something incredible with Argentina, since he was able to win the Copa América in 2021 and 2024 and, above all, the 2022 World Cup on penalties against France. While the Argentine coach had some ideas about leaving work in 2023, he is now totally in charge and will take his national team to the 2026 World Cup
With his contract running at Manchester City until the summer of 2027, the Spanish manager has hinted before he was interested in training a national team in the future, possibly before retiring early in his incredibly successful career as a coach. While it is difficult to think that he could meet with the Argentine star Lionel Messi due to his age, Guardiola would be one of the few who could replace a winning coach like Scaloni, who took Argentina to possibly his last golden era.
Guardiola would be perfect not only because of the way he handled his clubs before, but also because he would speak his first language, avoiding a language barrier, which is often considered one of the main problems when it comes to national team’s work. Guardiola Coaching The Argentine national team in the Monumental in Buenos Aires would be one of the most emblematic images of all time in this sport.
United States: José Mourinho
If we are playing this game of trainers, we must include José Mourinho in the conversation, since the Portuguese coach was very close to administering Portugal in January 2023, but then decided to stay in charge of the Romá as he did not want to leave his club during the season not long after win Pre -season with camps in UCLA when I was in Chelsea and also at Inter. With the USMNT, Mourinho would have a task similar to the one in Ace Roma, taking the team to the next level, since he could win with the Giallorossi his first UEFA trophy. Pochettino is now in charge and is ready to guide the United States in the World Cup, but after Disaster of the Nations League in MarchA group output could possibly lead to more changes.
Mexico: Mikel Arteta
Speaking of steps, Mexico is now called to make a large one, since they will also be organizing the 2026 World Cup. The current manager Javier Aguirre began well and won the Concacaf Nations League after winning 2-1 against Panama in the final and it seems that it can be that type of manager, but if we look at European coaches, a profile like the Arsenal Mikel Arteta coach would be perfect for work. A young coach who has some solid football ideas and cares a lot about the development of younger players, something that Mexico needs to aspire in the coming years.
Brazil: Jurgen Klopp
We already mentioned that Carlo Ancelotti is the current dream of the Brazilian Federation, but who else could take that work among European coaches? Brazil needs someone with experience and that can also deal with so many young stars and talents who need to play together. Well, Jurgen Klopp would be ideal for such work. Klopp, after leaving Liverpool last year, became the world football head of the Redbull Group and among the clubs controlled by the Austrian group is Redbull Bragantino, a Brazilian First Division team. Klopp was considered for Germany’s work and the reports suggested that there is a clause in his Redbull contract that allows him to go in case the German FA calls him for work, but Redbull himself denied the reports. As of today, if Klopp will administer again, it is more likely to see him train a national team instead of a club.
