Romario, former Brazil national team striker and 1994 World Cup champion, after the national team's 3-2 defeat against Japan in a friendly match, severely criticized Carlo Ancelotti and demanded his immediate dismissal from Brazil's head coach.
According to the Goal website, after Brazil's defeat on Saturday at the Singapore National Stadium, Romario asked Samir Chaud, president of the Brazilian Football Confederation, to fire Ancelotti before the national team plunged into a deeper crisis.
Romario, who is now a Brazilian senator, wrote on his Instagram page in an appeal to the Italian coach: "Ancelotti, that's enough! " Pack your bags and go! ".
He also emphasized: "No one doubts your legacy. You are one of the greatest coaches in the history of world football, but those successes were at club level. In the Brazilian national team, you still haven't been able to get results. We can't take it anymore! ".
Those criticisms came as Ancelotti extended his contract with the country's football association until 2030, despite Brazil's elimination by Norway in the last 16 of the 2026 World Cup.
