Romario, the former Brazil striker and a 1994 World Cup champion, has sharply criticized national team coach Carlo Ancelotti. Brazil lost 3-2 to Japan in a friendly on November 14.
“Ancelotti, enough! Pack your things and go! No one questions your past achievements. You are one of the greatest coaches in the history of world football, but at club level. You have shown nothing yet with the Brazil national team. This is enough!” Romario wrote on his social media account.
He advised Ancelotti to return to club football and said Brazil’s national team could not afford to remain in a holding pattern. Romario also addressed Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) President Samir Xaud, urging him to make a bold decision.
“Please, Mr. President, let Ancelotti go! There is no room for jokes when it comes to the national team jersey. We have already been embarrassed enough. We cannot risk another World Cup. It will be too late to cry after the tournament is over. We need to act now!” Romario said.
