Brazil legend Romario has ripped into Endrick and manager Carlo Ancelotti who he believes should be sacked.

Norway pulled off one of the great upsets of the 2026 World Cup by eliminating Brazil 2-1 at MetLife Stadium last week, setting up a Quarter Final clash with England this weekend.

The Selecao were dumped out in the Round of 16 after a brilliant Erling Haaland brace, breaking the hearts of millions of supporters. 

Despite this, Ancelotti is expected to remain in charge after reportedly agreeing to a contract extension that will keep him with Brazil until 2030. 

1994 World Cup winner Romario fumed this week as he came to terms with the result and how Endrick shot wide despite being handed a clear opportunity to tie the game in the 13th minute of the second half. 

Romario stated that Endrick was poor regardless of his age and admitted that he believes Ancelotti should be sacked immediately. 

"A lot of people are saying: 'Ah, but he's young'. F*ck that he's young, he has to score the damn goal. Young, mediocre, old, f*ck it. 

"If he's there, he has the responsibility to score, there's no way around it. Endrick's missed goal was his own fault. When he gets there, he has to concentrate to score, because it's the decisive ball, the one that will define a game.  

“I like him, I think he'll be a player who will bring us happiness, but (on Sunday), he was terrible." 

"There's no way Ancelotti can continue being the coach of the Brazilian national team after this fiasco, this shame he caused. I would tear up that contract and tell him to sue me.” 

As fans look towards the next international tournament, the Brazil side will be without Neymar who has made a total of 268 appearances across all competitions across two spells, scoring 153 goals and winning six trophies including the 2011 Copa Libertadores.
