The coach of the Canarinha continues to enjoy himself before the World Cup debut.

Carlo Ancelotti, coach of the Brazilian National Team, once again made headlines at the carnival in Sao Paulo after reuniting and sharing a viral greeting with two legends of that country and the entire world.

Ancelotti experienced the parade of the different samba schools in the region from the front row at the famous sambadrome when he noticed the presence of ‘Phenomenon’ Ronaldo Nazário and Denilson de Oliveira in the parade.

The former Brazilian footballers were surprised to realize that the current coach of the team that will represent them in the 2026 World Cup this summer was among those present.

Immediately, Ronaldo raised his hand in greeting and Denilson imitated him; Ancelotti responded with the same gesture while taking a sip of his beer.

ANCELOTTI ASKED TO TAKE NEYMAR TO THE 2026 WORLD CUP

Days earlier, in Bahia, Ancelotti experienced a curious moment at the carnival regarding his decisions about Neymar heading to the 2026 World Cup, which will be held next June and July in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

The local singer, Leo Santana, interrupted his performance to address the coach directly: "One detail Ancelotti, put Neymar in this Brazilian team for the love of God. It's just a request from a fan, sorry I couldn't miss this."

Neymar has not been called up to the Brazilian national team since October 2023 and Ancelotti has not done so either since he joined the team last year.
