67-year-old Ancelotti earning a top salary of 10 million euros sparks outrage among Brazilian fans: calls for his dismissal and imprisonment, hoping Guardiola will take over.

In the third round of 16 match of the World Cup that concluded on July 6th Beijing time, the tournament favorite Brazil men's football team suffered a stunning 1-2 defeat to Norway, failing to reach the quarter-finals and recording their worst World Cup performance in 36 years. The on-field management and substitutions by 67-year-old Brazilian coach Carlo Ancelotti also drew significant criticism from Brazilian fans.Watch the World Cup on Migu Video.

After the match, many Brazilian fans directed their frustration at the 67-year-old Italian coach. Angry fans wrote: "We need to sack him immediately."; "From the first match, I wanted Ancelotti in jail." Another fan angrily stated: "Ancelotti, Brazil's failure to reach the World Cup quarter-finals is entirely your fault."; "If he has any integrity left, he should resign tonight."

As one of the top football managers today, Ancelotti's coaching resume includes five Champions League titles, numerous domestic cup championships, and league titles in five different countries.

However, following Brazil's disappointing World Cup campaign, the coach, who is earning a top salary of 10 million euros from the Brazilian Football Confederation, will inevitably face immense pressure to step down.

At the same time, Brazilian fans have almost unanimously agreed on the candidate for the national team’s next head coach, hoping Guardiola will take over: "Please hire Guardiola, it’s not too late yet."; "The name of Brazil's head coach in 2030 will be Guardiola!!"; "Guardiola, please help us."

It is worth noting that before the Brazilian Football Confederation hired Ancelotti last year, Guardiola was one of the top candidates for the position, but at that time, he was still under contract with Manchester City.

Now, Guardiola has ended his 10-year tenure at Manchester City and is currently unemployed. It remains unclear whether Guardiola is willing to return to coaching so soon.
