About this episode

In a football world exclusive, Carlo Ancelotti swaps Real Madrid's royal white for Brazil's iconic yellow! The Italian tactical genius is taking on the ultimate challenge: ending the Seleção's 24-year World Cup drought at the 2026 tournament. Join us as we break down this blockbuster move, Ancelotti's ريال مدريد legacy, Brazil's "grand heist" to secure his signature, and how he plans to blend European discipline with Brazilian flair ("samba meets chess"). We'll also explore the exciting dynamic of Ancelotti reuniting with his former Real Madrid stars like Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo, Militão, and wonderkid Endrick, and what their roles could be on the road to North America. Get ready for the Ancelotti era – can he restore Brazil's crown?
