According to Brazilian media reports, this time, Ancelotti will arrive in Brazil in a low-key manner. At Rio International Airport, he will not come out of the arrival hall, but will come out from other places without meeting the media and fans. However, more than 200 media reporters will attend the meeting on May 26 and the press conference after the Brazilian team's roster was announced. At the press conference, Ancelotti will answer questions in Spanish. However, he has told the Brazilian Football Association that he will learn Portuguese as soon as possible. Spain and Portugal are neighboring countries and have great language similarity. There is no big obstacle for Spanish-speaking people to communicate with Portuguese speakers.

Although he has coached many Brazilian players in Europe, Ancelotti does not know much about Brazilian football. Therefore, there will be Brazilians in his coaching staff. According to Brazilian media reports, Ancelotti has said that he will keep Brazil's four-win World Cup goalkeeper Tafarrel in the Brazilian coaching staff. In 2014, when Dunga coached Brazil for the second time, Tafarer joined the Brazilian coaching staff. In addition, he also serves as Liverpool goalkeeper coach.

In addition, Ancelotti's favorite disciple Kaka in the AC Milan era may also have the opportunity to cooperate with his mentor in Brazil. In an interview with the media on May 18, Kaka said that after the Brazilian Football Association officially announced that Ancelotti was the head coach of the Brazilian team, he spoke with An Shuai and congratulated him. In the interview, Kaka said he was ready and if Brazilian media invited him, he would be willing to be a manager or serve in Ancelotti's coaching staff.

Kaka said: "I am very happy for his arrival. Ancelotti contributed a lot, and he is not just a coach. He will have a great influence on Brazilian football. I think that is what he will create and he will leave a legacy. I am very happy, not only because he is one of the best coaches in the contemporary era, but because he is one of the best in history. He decided to help the Brazilian team. I talked to him, congratulated him on his behalf and welcomed him to Brazil."

Kaka also said: "If Brazil feels I can help it, I will, I will prepare. I retired in 2017 and since then, I have been preparing myself. I took sports business courses at Harvard, sports management courses at UEFA, and coaching class at the Brazilian Football Association. I played for 3 World Cups and played for Brazil for more than 15 years (including Brazil youth team and national Olympic team). If there is an opportunity, I am ready to play for Brazil again."
