Just days after being officially named Brazil’s new head coach, Carlo Ancelotti has already moved to reaffirm Neymar’s role in his plans for the 2026 World Cup.
According to Globo Esporte, the Italian manager personally reached out to the Al-Hilal forward to deliver a clear message: he still counts on him as a key player for the Seleção—as long as he’s fit.
Despite a serious injury and an almost non-existent season, Neymar remains central to Brazil’s future under Ancelotti. It’s a bold and symbolic show of faith from the new boss, signaling to fans—and critics alike—that the former PSG star isn’t done yet.
Ancelotti’s Brazil project is taking shape, and Neymar is still very much part of the blueprint.
