FIFA World Cup: Brazil goalkeeper Alisson Becker has said that the influence of new manager Carlo Ancelotti may not be fully apparent until the FIFA World Cup next year.

Ancelotti, who was appointed last month, took charge of his first match on Thursday as Brazil was held to a goalless draw by Ecuador in a World Cup qualifier in Guayaquil.

Alisson said Ancelotti was already making his mark within the squad but cautioned that the long-term effects of the Italian's management would take time to materialise, reports Xinhua.
