Ronaldo Eyes Presidency of Brazilian Football Confederation, Plans to Bring Guardiola as Coach

Added at:


Brazilian football icon Ronaldo Nazário has set his sights on becoming the president of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), with ambitious plans to revolutionize the national team’s future. According to Diario Sport, Ronaldo intends to run for the position in the upcoming elections scheduled for March 2026.

A Bold Vision for Brazil

Ronaldo's potential presidency is already generating excitement, primarily due to his reported plan to appoint Pep Guardiola as head coach of the national team. The Spaniard, currently under contract with Manchester City until July 2025, is regarded as one of the most successful and innovative managers in football history. While Guardiola is aware of Ronaldo’s interest, he has yet to respond to the approach.

Guardiola's Potential Role

The inclusion of Guardiola in Ronaldo’s project highlights the boldness of his vision. The two share a mutual respect from their time in European football, and Ronaldo’s belief in Guardiola’s tactical genius could mark a seismic shift for the Brazilian national team, which has faced criticism for underwhelming performances in recent years.

If successful, the partnership could usher in a new era for Seleção, blending Brazil's natural flair with Guardiola’s strategic mastery.

What’s Next for Ronaldo and Brazil?

As the 2026 elections approach, Ronaldo’s candidacy could gain significant support from fans and stakeholders eager for a fresh direction in Brazilian football. Meanwhile, Guardiola’s potential involvement will undoubtedly keep the football world speculating.
