Got same result.
Okay, we need to install the epel-release first. @jazz32pf
First install the epel-release pkg: -
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm
after that verify it through rpm command: -
sudo rpm -aq | grep epel
and then install the ansible: -
sudo yum install ansible
Let me know if you are facing any other issues.

It works! I am sorry that I am new to Linux, so I wonder how you figure out the issue? I hope I can solve the problem on my own.
[osboxes@ansible-controller ~]$ ansible --version
ansible [core 2.12.6]
config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
configured module search path = [‘/home/osboxes/.ansible/plugins/modules’, ‘/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules’]
ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ansible
ansible collection location = /home/osboxes/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections
executable location = /usr/bin/ansible
python version = 3.9.9 (main, Nov 22 2021, 00:00:00) [GCC 11.2.1 20211019 (Red Hat 11.2.1-6)]
jinja version = 2.11.3
libyaml = True
[osboxes@ansible-controller ~]$
Yes, sure.
As you can see in the below output. epel release pkg is not available.
So I looked into their official page for more instructions.
and with help of dnf command, installing the rpm pkg.

Hello All,

I would recommend you get ansible through pip - it will be a more up to date version than that provided by the OS Package Manager:
sudo yum install -y python3 python3-pip
pip install ansible
