Ancelotti at Rio carnival as Ronaldo appears, cinema vibes 🎉 | OneFootball

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

Carlo Ancelotti, coach of the Brazilian National Team, made headlines again 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 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 followed suit; 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 had a curious moment at the carnival regarding his decisions about Neymar for the 2026 World Cup, which will be held next June and July in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

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

Neymar has not been called up to the Brazilian national team since October 2023 and neither has Ancelotti since his arrival at the team last year.
