Tite exited the role after Brazil went out of
the World Cup quarter-finals in Qatar. Brazil's federation
issued a statement in February denying a report they had reached
a verbal agreement with Ancelotti, who is under contract at Real
Madrid until 2024.
"There is a big possibility that he comes," Ederson told
reporters ahead of Brazil's game against Morocco on March 25.
The Manchester City keeper said he had spoken with some
Brazilian players who have played under Ancelotti at Real Madrid
including Casemiro, Vinicius Jr and Eder Militao.
"What I've been told about him is that he's an exceptional
coach, that everyone in the group likes, he's a guy who has a
very successful career, just look at his CV. We will see in the
near future if he will be here or not.
"I hope we can have a new coach quickly. I feel the anticipation
too because there's too much speculation. Is it a Brazilian or a
foreign coach? We are also living in a phase of anxiety."
