Rio De Janeiro, Feb. 25 -- The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) is close to extending the contract of the men's national team coach, Carlo Ancelotti, beyond this year's FIFA World Cup, CBF president Samir Xaud said.
Xaud said the Italian had agreed to a new deal pending "bureaucratic and legal adjustments".
"What we want, as I always say, is not something immediate, but rather a long-term project," Xaud told reporters in Rio de Janeiro.
"We believe one year is far too little to develop work that produces lasting results."Ancelotti took charge of Brazil last May on a contract running until the World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada. The 66-year-old has overseen four wins, two draws and two losses since his appointment.
