Neymar was involved in five of Brazil's 11 goals at the last World Cup (4 goals, 1 assist). He was also involved in more goals than any other player in the CONMEBOL qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup (6 goals, 8 assists).
Handed the role in June 2016, Brazil manager Tite will experience his first World Cup. His Brazil side picked up 41 points in qualifying, winning 12 and losing only one of their 18 games, the best tally in CONMEBOL since Argentina's 43 points in the 2002 World Cup qualifiers.
This is Vladimir Petković's first World Cup as manager and second major tournament with Switzerland after Euro 2016 where the Nati remained unbeaten, penalty shoot-outs excluded (W1 D3).
