Neymar intervenes in Brazil national team coach position

Neymar's family protested against the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) appointing Jorge Jesus as head coach of "Selecao".

Neymar is accused of interfering in the selection of a new coach for the Brazilian national team.

According to O Globo, Neymar's father, Neymar da Silva Santos Sr, met with CBF President Ednaldo Rodrigues to block the appointment of Jorge Jesus. This led to the Portuguese coach being removed from the list of candidates for the Brazil national team's captaincy.

The conflict between Neymar and coach Jesus from the time they both worked at Al Hilal is said to be the main reason why the player's family opposed the CBF's intention.

Coach Jesus once publicly assessed that Neymar could no longer maintain his peak form, leading to the 33-year-old player leaving Al Hilal to return to Santos earlier this year.

Speculation about Neymar's influence in the selection of Brazil's head coach has been rife for years, especially as he is expected to participate in the 2026 World Cup - the star's last major tournament in his career.

Currently, CBF has almost reached an agreement with Carlo Ancelotti, and the possibility of announcing this deal after the end of La Liga 2024/25. As for Neymar, the Brazilian striker is currently recovering from an injury suffered in Santos' 2-0 win over Atletico Mineiro at the end of April.

Having joined Santos at the end of January, Neymar managed to play 7 matches, playing a total of 508 minutes, scoring 3 goals and adding 3 assists. Initial statistics show that Neymar has maintained his passion for playing football, but physical problems once again threaten the player's revival.
