Brazilian soccer’s rebuild mired in doubt amid a long wait for Ancelotti

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:56:31 GMT

SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil is about to start its sixth attempt to add a sixth star to its famous soccer shirt. The vibe is very different from the start of its past five South American World Cup qualifying campaigns, though, because the Selecao is rebuilding with an interim coach, its star player not based in Europe and promising young players are either struggling for form or injured. New coach Fernando Diniz, Al-Hilal striker Neymar and low scoring Richarlison represent the different faces of Brazil’s uncertainty at the beginning of the road leading to the 2026 World Cup. And this time the Selecao will be under more pressure because its archrival, Argentina, is the World Cup champion. Diniz, a coach without a lot of silverware but with a lot of attacking style, will start his interim tenure Friday in the Amazon city of Belem against Bolivia. He is not expected to keep the position for long. The Fluminense coach, who has not left his club, is regarded as a caretaker until Carlo Ancelo...
