Lisca Doido blasts Ancelotti and resigns from the Seleção coach

Lisca, former coach of Internacional and América-MG, harshly criticized Carlo Ancelotti after the elimination of the Brazilian team in the 2026 World Cup. The 2-1 defeat to Norway, in the round of 16, last Sunday (5), led to the Italian coach's resignation by the commentator.

In participation on Rádio Gaúcha, in Porto Alegre (RS), Lisca questioned Ancelotti's tactical choices, especially the absence of dead ball takers. He highlighted the importance of these specialists in a universe as vast as Brazilian football.

"Who is Brazil's set-piece taker today? Matheus Cunha, the number nine. Planning a football team and not having a set-piece taker, with Brazil being its universe, is a very serious mistake. We don't have a penalty taker, let alone a set-piece taker," said Lisca.

Criticism of Ancelotti's management
In addition to tactical issues, Lisca demanded Ancelotti's dismissal, alleging that the coach "violated the characteristics of Brazilian football". The former Colorado commander also evaluated Neymar's entry in the second half, highlighting the negative impacts of the substitution on the team.

Brazil's performance in the World Cup
With the elimination in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup, Brazil ended its participation in the tournament in 11th place. This result ranks as the team's second worst campaign in its 23 World Cup appearances.

The current performance equals the 11th place obtained in 1966, the year in which Canarinho was also eliminated early, still in the group stage. However, in that edition, the tournament had only 16 teams.
