The legendary Italian coach has been tasked with leading Brazil to World Cup glory next year as the best players on the planet descend upon the USA to battle it out.
Antony, 25, has earned a recall thanks to his fine form for Real Betis since leaving Man United on loan in January.
Neymar, on the other hand, has not been selected for the two World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Paraguay.
His first games at the helm will be on June 6th and 11th, respectively.
