Carlo Ancelotti scouts European leagues for Brazil call-ups
Brazil national team coach Carlo Ancelotti is conducting an extensive scouting tour across Europe to finalize his upcoming player call-ups. The Italian manager is attending several high-profile matches in France and England to observe potential candidates for the squad.
His European itinerary includes watching Lille face PSG in the French league—a match of personal significance as Lille is managed by his son, Davide Ancelotti—as well as Premier League fixtures involving Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle, Chelsea, and Brighton.
The official announcement of the squad is expected between September 8 and 11. This selection will prepare the team for three upcoming international friendlies: two matches against Australia in Townsville and Brisbane in late September, followed by a match against India in Kolkata on October 3.
