Legendary striker Romario called on Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti to resign after the team lost 3–2 to Japan in a friendly match.

"Ancelotti, enough! Pack your things and leave! You are one of the best coaches in the history of world football, but all your achievements were accomplished while working with clubs.

You have not yet shown with the Brazilian national team why you were appointed to this position. We can no longer tolerate this!

If you want to continue coaching, return to club football, where you made your name. The Brazilian national team cannot keep taking risks and hoping that everything will somehow work out on its own.

I am also addressing the president of the Brazilian Football Confederation, Samir Xaud. You are a young Brazilian, so I believe you want what is best for our football. The time has come to show whether you have the courage to make a decision.

Damn it, president! Send Ancelotti packing!

You cannot toy with the national team jersey. We have already suffered enough humiliation, and we cannot risk turning another World Cup into a catastrophe.

Once the World Cup has been lost, it will be too late to cry. Action must be taken now!” Romario blasted.
