Tuca Ferretti, a well-known Brazilian football coach, issued severe criticisms of Carlo Ancelotti, current Brazil manager. In public statements, Ferretti compared Ancelotti to "a dead man," using a particularly harsh expression to evaluate the work of the Italian coach at the helm of the Brazilian national team.
Ferretti's criticism was also directed at the Brazilian Football Federation, which he accused of having committed "a real blunder" by choosing Ancelotti to lead the national team. The Brazilian coach showed total disagreement with the decision to hire a foreigner for the manager position.
The context for these statements relates to Brazil's performance at the 2026 World Cup. Under Ancelotti's command, the Brazilian national team disappointingly only managed to reach the round of 16 of the competition, a result considered far below the traditionally high expectations associated with the Selecao.
