Carlo Ancelotti‘s appointment as head coach of the Brazilian national team marks a pivotal moment in the Seleção Canarinho’s modern history.
This data analysis report explores how one of Europe’s most decorated coaches might rebuild a side that has lost its identity in recent years.
Once synonymous with flair and dominance on the world stage, Brazil currently sit fourth in the CONMEBOL qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, an unconvincing position for the five-time champions.
With results faltering and a lack of tactical clarity evident, the Brazilian Football Confederation has trusted Ancelotti’s coaching style to steer the team towards stability and success.
The Italian tactician inherits a squad stacked with high-level individual talent – including the likes of Vinícius Júnior, Raphinha, Rodrygo, Lucas Paquetá, Bruno Guimarães, Gabriel Magalhães, and Marquinhos – yet one that has struggled to establish cohesion on the pitch.
Ancelotti’s renowned tactical flexibility and preference for balance, intelligent structure, and adaptability may offer the perfect foundation for a new era.
In this tactical and data-driven analysis, we examine how Ancelotti’s tactics could shape Brazil’s playing style and how his adaptable approach might unlock the potential of this talented yet tactically disjointed squad.
Antoine Semenyo has put together a formidable season for AFC Bournemouth.
In the 2024/2025 Premier League season, he has contributed nine goals and four assists in 34 games.
However, his offerings go far beyond this.
Semenyo has been pivotal in Andoni Iraola‘s system.
His physical attributes allow their aggressive, high-pressing style to succeed.
Unsurprisingly, he is now one of the players being heavily linked with a move away from the Vitality.
Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle United have all been touted, with rumoured fees upwards of £50m.
In this player analysis, we will examine Antoine Semenyo’s style of play, considering first what makes him so highly sought after and then where he can improve to take his game to the next level.
We will also contemplate why he suits the Cherries so well stylistically, and what type of club and manager he may suit as he reviews his next steps.
