Ancelotti skips post-match flash interview after Brazil's World Cup exit – son Davide steps in

Brazil's run at the 2026 FIFA World Cup came to a halt in the Round of 16 following a 1-2 loss to Norway. After the final whistle, head coach Carlo Ancelotti did not show up for the mandatory flash interview with broadcasters. Instead, his son Davide Ancelotti, a member of the national team coaching staff, appeared in front of the cameras. Davide answered a few questions but refused to discuss his father's future with the Seleção. The move raised eyebrows among Brazilian media, as the senior Ancelotti was nowhere to be seen after the defeat.
