Jorge Jesus Favourite for Brazil Job After Dorival Exit
The race to be the next Brazil manager is on, and UK Betting Sites have installed Jorge Jesus as the early 11/10 favourite, following reports he’s among the CBF’s top targets.
Dorival Junior’s departure last week after a short stint at the helm has opened the door to a blockbuster appointment with Brazil reportedly eyeing some of the world’s most high-profile coaches ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
Bet365 have placed Jorge Jesus as the 11/10 favourite for the role with reports in The Athletic saying that Jesus and Carlo Ancelotti are the two names that the CBF want the most.
Now the betting odds give an implied probability of 47.6% that Jesus is the next Brazil manager with full odds below:
| Jorge Jesus | 11/10 | 47.6% |
| Carlo Ancelotti | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Pep Guardiola | 3/1 | 25.0% |
| Abel Ferreira | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| Renato Gaúcho | 16/1 | 5.9% |
What the expert says...
Ancelotti and Guardiola Among the Elite Options
Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has long been linked to the Brazil job, and now sits at 2/1 in the betting, despite being under contract with Real Madrid.
CBF officials have reportedly admired his man-management and tactical flexibility and a summer announcement remains a possibility.
Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola is a 3/1 outsider but a tempting one.
His name has consistently been linked to international roles in recent years, and though a Brazil appointment would be a huge shock, punters haven’t ruled it out.
