According to Lance! (Brazil): "Ronaldo is planning to run for election and become President of the CBF. He wants to bring coach Pep Guardiola to lead the Brazilian team to the 2026 World Cup. Ronaldo will need the support of 4 state federations and 4 clubs from Serie A or B (the 2 highest level tournaments in Brazilian football) to register on the candidate list. The election will take place in 2025. The current President, Mr. Ednaldo Rodrigues, also intends to run for re-election."
Ronaldo Nazario intends to become President of CBF
Ronaldo is currently the owner and President of Real Valladolid Club in La Liga (Spain). He is also the owner of Cruzeiro Club in Brasileiro Serie A (Brazilian National Championship). With his great reputation, it is completely within reach for this 48-year-old former player to receive the necessary support to run for the position of President of the CBF.
The support is even greater, as the current president, Ednaldo Rodrigues, is being heavily criticized by the Brazilian press and fans due to the Selecao's recent poor performances, according to the Lance! newspaper.
Brazil, now coached by Dorival Junior, have regained some confidence thanks to two wins against Chile (2-1) and Peru (4-0) in October in the South American qualifying round for the 2026 World Cup. But the recent 1-1 draw against Venezuela was disappointing.
Selecao will play their next match against Uruguay at home at 7:45 a.m. on November 20, also in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in South America, hoping to regain victory to consolidate their 4th place in the rankings. However, if they receive another bad result, coach Dorival Junior will be under pressure. Even CBF President Ednaldo Rodrigues will be under great pressure.
Coach Pep Guardiola's contract with Man City is about to expire, but has not renewed it
Recently, Mr. Ednaldo Rodrigues denied the rumor that CBF intends to recruit coach Pep Guardiola, whose contract with Man City is about to expire and has not decided to renew it. But with former player Ronaldo, he promised to bring coach Pep Guardiola to the Brazilian team to change the current situation, in case he wins the election as CBF President.
Coach Pep Guardiola is considered to have all the capabilities to help the Brazilian team regain its position, after more than 2 years of ups and downs since the 2022 World Cup and the departure of coach Tite.
