Ancelotti is set to take over as Brazil's national team manager when his contract with Real Madrid expires at the end of the 2023/2024 season.
Brazil have not won the World Cup since 2002 and were knocked out at the quarterfinals stage on penalties by Croatia at the 2022 edition in Qatar.
Ancelotti has won the title in each of the big five European leagues and is also a record four-time winner of the UEFA Champions League.
Lucas is optimistic that Ancelotti's arrival will bode well for the Selecao as they aim for a return to the top of the world game.
"It's the first time that a foreign manager takes over the national team," Lucas said. "It’s exciting because he's a winner, he’s won everything, wherever he went he was successful.
"We just hope that he can bring his experience and his qualities to the national team because we want to win the World Cup again.
"Now as a fan, I will be hoping that Ancelotti does a fantastic job, because at the end of the day, we want Brazil winning and if he can bring experience and quality and his knowledge about football to Brazil, not only the national team, but the country, I think it will be fantastic."
"If you look at his career, he's won everywhere he went.
"I just hope that he can bring all his qualities here. He's experienced and he has talent to manage a national team like Brazil with so many players who didn't win the last four or five World Cups.
"If he's the right person, I think so and I think he showed in his career that he is able to do that. We could say many names here that could also be the right manager for the national team of Brazil. But I think he is one of the managers that is capable of bringing new ideas and new things for the team."
Lucas won 24 caps for Brazil but was forced to retire earlier this year because of a heart issue.
