Brazil’s national team head coach Carlo Ancelotti has decided not to include Neymar in the squad for the 2026 World Cup, as reported by Globo journalist Andre Loffredo.
The Italian coach is focused on the current performance of his players and feels that the 34-year-old forward from Santos does not meet the criteria for selection. Ancelotti is prioritizing form over past achievements.
Loffredo also mentioned that the coach is surprised by the public reaction regarding Neymar’s potential call-up. While Neymar is Brazil’s all-time top scorer, the decision will hinge on his recent performance.
