We take a look at the top 10 Brazilian players who have made the most appearances under Carlo Ancelotti.
Taking top spot in the list is 2007 Ballon d'Or winner Kaka, having played 270 games under the Italian Carlo Acncelotti.
While the Brazilian is primarily known for his prestigious spell at AC Milan, the two did cross paths at Real Madrid, but Kaka left the club to return to Milan just months after Los Blancos appointed Ancelotti.
Arguably one of the greatest goalkeepers produced by Brazil, Dida and Ancelotti enjoyed the best part of eight years together at AC Milan.
Dida won two UEFA Champions Leagues and one Serie A title under Ancelotti, amongst other domestic and European honours.
A figure which could increase if Ancelotti is to stay put at Real Madrid despite rumours of a departure, Rodrygo has played 208 times under the current Real Madrid manager.
The Brazilian has proved a significant component for Los Blancos under Ancelotti, playing most of his minutes off the right-hand side of the attack.
A tireless runner with the ability to play in any role off the left, Serginho was unsurprisingly a regular in Ancelotti's Milan side throughout the 2000s.
Joining from Sao Paulo in 1999, he would see out his final nine years of his professional playing career at the seven time UEFA Champions League winners, playing his final game on 18th May 2008 against Udinese.
Like Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior is a mainstay in the current Los Blancos side, finishing as runner-up at the 2024 Ballon d'or ceremony.
The Brazilian is the man for a big moment, scoring in both UEFA Champions League finals that he has appeared in, including the only goal in a 1-0 victory over Liverpool in 2002.
Cafu joined fellow Brazilian Serginho in retiring at Milan following the conclusion of the 2007/08 campaign, having spent five years playing for Ancelotti's side. In that spell, he became a Serie A and UEFA Champions League winner.
Injuries have no doubt hindered Eder Militao's spell at Los Blancos up to now, but Ancelotti shows full trust in the Brazilian when he is available.
131 of Militao's 172 appearances for Real Madrid have come under the Italian manager.
Arguably one of the greatest and most decorated left-backs of all time, Marcelo spent the best part of 15 years at Real Madrid, three of which were managed by Ancelotti.
Ancelotti managed Marcelo on two separate occasions, firstly during a two year spell between 2013 and 2015, followed up by a one year period from 2021 to 2022 before the left-back made the move to Fluminense.
Ancelotti joined Chelsea five years into Alex's eight year spell at the club, and the pair would be reunited for a short period at Paris Saint-Germain between 2012 and 2013.
Having managed the Brazilian midfielder at Napoli for a short period, Ancelotti had seen enough to want to bring Allan over to Merseyside when joining Everton. He played 87 times under Ancelotti across the two clubs.
