Three Brazilian players not in Ancelotti’s future plans

Brazil coach, Carlo Ancelotti, has suggested that players like Casemiro, Neymar and Danilo will no longer be in Brazil’s plans as he starts looking to the new generation.

Neymar has already retired from international football after the 2026 World Cup ended earlier this month, while Casemiro and Danilo have not commented on their Brazil futures.

“I think ⁠this World Cup marks the end of a generation of very important players,” Ancelotti told Brazilian broadcaster Ge.

“Starting ​with Neymar, going through Danilo, Casemiro, all those players who were over 30 years old at the World Cup.

“We are going to map out new players who can enter. We are going to keep some important players who can continue the work, like Marquinhos, to name ​one,” he said.
