Thiago Silva of Chelsea has joined the list of athletes who support Carlo Ancelotti for the vacant Brazil manager position.
After parting company with Tite after the conclusion of their dismal 2022 FIFA World Cup campaign, which saw them lose to Croatia in the quarterfinals, the Selecao are looking for a new manager.
Big names like Jose Mourinho and Luis Enrique have been mentioned in the rumors that Brazil may choose a foreign manager for the first time in their history.
The biggest connection, though, has been made with Ancelotti, who is expected to leave Real Madrid at the end of the current campaign.

“To be quite honest, I would like it if it were him, given our friendship and mutual understanding. At Milan, he served as my first coach in Europe. He has demonstrated readiness throughout his career, according to what Silva told TJ Sports USA.
