Romario calls for Carlo Ancelotti to resign as Brazil coach

Brazilian football legend Romario has publicly demanded the immediate resignation of Carlo Ancelotti from his role as head coach of the Brazil national team. This call to action follows a disappointing 3-2 defeat against Japan in a friendly match held in Singapore. During the match, Ancelotti and player Raphinha were both sent off after vehemently protesting the validity of Japan's third goal.

Romario acknowledged Ancelotti's distinguished record at the club level but argued that the Italian manager has failed to demonstrate his capabilities while leading the Brazilian national side. The former striker urged the coach to return to club football, asserting that the national team should not continue to endure his current tenure. While one report erroneously suggests Ancelotti is still at Real Madrid, the primary account clarifies his current leadership of the Brazilian squad.

There is currently no indication of a formal response from the Brazilian Football Confederation regarding Ancelotti’s future. The public criticism from such a high-profile figure has significantly increased pressure on the manager following the team's recent underwhelming performances and the disciplinary incidents witnessed in Singapore.
