Romario, who won the 1994 World Cup with Brazil, had some harsh words for the former Real Madrid tactician.

“He cannot remain Brazil’s head coach,” Romario said, as per TalkSPORT.

“If I had been in charge of the federation, I would have walked into the dressing room, told him to go to hell and torn up his contract on the spot.

“The match against Norway was a disgrace. I’d even take him to court. Then we’ll see what happens, but he cannot stay.

“We had Dunga. He lost, and he left. We had Luiz Felipe Scolari, he won the World Cup, so he stayed. We had Tite. He lost, he stayed, and then he lost again.

“Now we have this damned Ancelotti, who has lost and will keep on losing.

“He made a lot of mistakes at this World Cup, and none of you in the media are saying a word.

“If he were a Brazilian coach, you would have torn him apart by now, but because he’s a foreigner, nobody says anything.”
