Ancelotti – Brazil deal in jeopardy as CBF president faces possible removal over fraud case »

In May 2025, congresswoman Daniela Carneiro asked Brazil’s Supreme Court to remove CBF president Ednaldo Rodrigues over alleged forged signatures linked to his 2022 election.
The request was prompted by concerns over the authenticity of a signature attributed to Antonio Carlos Nunes de Lima, who once held the position of vice president, raising questions about Rodrigues' legitimacy amid previous legal disputes involving changes to CBF's election rules.
CBF stated it has not accessed the private expert's report cited in the accusations and described media coverage as sensationalism serving unrelated interests while affirming the legality of actions taken.
A forensic analysis by handwriting expert Jacqueline Tirotti highlighted questionable signatures, prompting the Supreme Court to reopen a fraud case that could lead to Rodrigues' removal and delay the Brazil national team coaching appointment.
If Rodrigues is ousted, new CBF elections would likely follow, potentially stalling Brazil’s plan to hire Carlo Ancelotti and affecting preparations ahead of upcoming national team matches.
