Casemiro has significantly improved at Manchester United this season, becoming a crucial player under Ruben Amorim and enhancing his chances with the Brazilian national team.
His strong club performance is noteworthy, but there’s another reason for his growing importance to Brazil: Carlo Ancelotti’s recent appointment as national team manager. This change has benefited him.
Casemiro and Ancelotti share a history from their time at Real Madrid, where they built a positive relationship. This bond is evident as Casemiro has recently been named the team captain.
If Brazil were to win the World Cup under his leadership, Mark Clattenburg believes Ancelotti could be regarded as the greatest manager in football history.
“I think this season will be defining. In my view, he is among the greatest managers ever,” Clattenburg said on GRV Media’s Beyond the Back Four podcast. “Winning the World Cup with Brazil would be remarkable.”
“In my opinion, Carlo Ancelotti would become the greatest manager ever because of his achievements. Success at the international level and winning the World Cup would be the ultimate milestone.”
Casemiro’s remarkable comeback
While Manchester United supporters may not fully support Clattenburg’s view that a World Cup win would elevate Ancelotti above Sir Alex Ferguson, they might agree on Casemiro’s rise.
Just a year ago, Casemiro was ranked behind Toby Collyer in the United midfield, as noted by Ruben Amorim. Now, he’s an essential choice for both club and country, making a comeback when many believed his prime was behind him.
A World Cup win could be the ideal conclusion to Casemiro’s impressive turnaround, enhancing his career even more.
Despite concerns about his future at Old Trafford due to salary expectations, success on the international front would increase his attractiveness to clubs across Europe.
