Brazilian football legend Romário has publicly urged Carlo Ancelotti to step down as head coach of the national team. The demand followed Brazil's 3-2 defeat to Japan in a friendly match held in Singapore this Saturday.
Via social media, Romário called on CBF president Samir Xaud to take action regarding the Italian manager's future. The criticism arrives amidst concerns over the Seleção's poor performance and lack of collective organization on the pitch. Beyond the result, Ancelotti was also sent off during the match, which featured controversial officiating decisions.
The scrutiny of Ancelotti also extends to his contract, with questions raised regarding the decision to renew his deal prior to his first World Cup with Brazil. Current assessments suggest the team lacks short-term prospects, characterized by a poor performance level that appears unpredictable rather than structured.
