Former Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti is set to commit his long-term future to Brazil national football team.
The 66-year-old has reportedly agreed fresh terms that will keep him in charge until the 2030 World Cup.
The extension ends speculation over a possible return to European club football this summer.
Ancelotti became Brazil’s first foreign head coach in six decades when he took over last year, reports Goal.
Reports suggest the new deal mirrors his current salary, believed to be around €10 million annually.
Performance-related incentives have reportedly been improved as part of the agreement.
Crucially, his flexible working arrangement between Rio de Janeiro and Vancouver will remain in place.
