Brazilian legend Romário has called for the immediate dismissal of national team manager Carlo Ancelotti, labeling Brazil’s early FIFA World Cup 2026 exit to Norway as a disgrace and an embarrassment.
He strongly criticized Ancelotti’s tactical choices and demanded that the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) terminate his contract.

The former 1994 World Cup winner did not hold back in a series of harsh criticisms directed at the Italian coach and the CBF.
He specifically criticized Ancelotti’s decisions during the Round of 16 match against Norway. He questioned the manager’s choice to sub off Bruno Guimarães and play Ederson out of position at full-back, calling out the lack of backup full-back options on the squad list.
‘He cannot remain Brazil’s head coach. If I had been in charge of the federation, I would have walked into the dressing room, told him to go to hell and torn up his contract on the spot,” Romario told Sky Sports Italia.
‘The match against Norway was a disgrace. I’d even take him to court. Then we’ll see what happens, but he cannot stay.’
Despite such criticism, Ancelotti is expected to remain the Selecao’s manager until the next World Cup in Spain, Portugal and Morocco in 2030.

The country’s Football Director Rodrigo Caetano said just hours after the defeat to Norway: ‘He is our manager and will be throughout this cycle.
‘One of the main reasons we failed in this World Cup was not to have proper, stable guidance long-term that would have prepared our national team the way it should for a World Cup and we cannot make the same mistake again.’

Ooooh, I wanna sack sombori,

Yeah, I wanna sack sombori,
NFF Onigbese!
I’m 100% in support of sacking incompetence. An Italian coach that grew up in the famed Catenaccio era should have set up his team’s defense better against a team like Norway, with their deadly strikers. Everyone knows Haaland, but also very dangerous are Sorloth and Nusa! For Haaland to be left unmarked for the second goal was very poor.
It wasn’t even the defeat. Norway is a good team, capable of beating anyone, and anybody can lose a football game. It was the manner of defeat. Brazil was poor, and not just against Norway. They underwhelmed throughout the competition.
If Don Carlo does not resign on his own, then they should sack him.
More importantly, sack letters should be flowing freely in the Glass House. We urgently need to sack the NFF president, the technical director, and the entire board.
Sack them. sack them, sack them quickly, immediately!
