Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that the last World Cup marked the end of a major generation.

Besides Neymar, the Brazil coach is not expected to rely on Danilo and Casemiro any longer.

“I think this World Cup marks the end of a generation of very important players. Starting with Neymar, but also Danilo and Casemiro,” he told Globo.

However, the latter two have not yet officially announced their international retirement.

Marquinhos, on the other hand, is expected to be part of the squad renewal.
