The contract renewal will put the 66-year-old Italian at the helm of the team "until the 2030 World Cup," the CBF said in a statement.
Ancelotti took over as Brazil coach last year and oversaw the five-time world champions' successful qualification for the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico, running between June 11 and July 19.
"From the very first minute, I understood what football means to this country. For the past year, we have been working to lead the Brazilian national team back to the very top of the world stage," Ancelotti said in the statement.
