Brazil Seriously Thinking About Sacking Dorival Junior After Heavy Loss to Argentina

The Brazilian Football Federation is now seriously considering firing coach Dorival Junior after Brazil’s embarrassing loss to Argentina.

So, what’s cooking? Well, it all started after Brazil got absolutely smoked by Argentina in their 2026 World Cup qualifier match on Tuesday night. The scoreline? A painful 4-1 defeat. Argentina showed no mercy, with goals flying in from Julián Álvarez, Enzo Fernández, Alexis Mac Allister, and Giuliano Simeone. It was a night to forget for the Brazilian squad.

After that game, everything went south for Dorival Junior. According to the transfer king himself, Fabrizio Romano, the Brazilian Federation is now reviewing Dorival’s future. He dropped the bombshell on X (formerly Twitter) early Thursday morning, saying Brazil’s top football bosses are “seriously considering” making a change in the dugout.

And guess what? The name that keeps popping up as Brazil’s dream coach is none other than Carlo Ancelotti! But hold your horses, no talks are happening yet because it all depends on what’s going down at Real Madrid.

Now, back to Dorival Junior. Even he knew things were bad. In his post-match interview, he didn’t sugarcoat it. He straight up said that Brazil’s game plan didn’t work at all from start to finish. Ouch.

Brazil is currently in fourth place with 21 points in the South American World Cup qualifiers. But after that defeat, the heat is on. The fans aren’t happy, and neither are the officials.

So, will Dorival Junior survive this storm? Or will Brazil go hunting for a fresh face to lead them to glory? One thing’s for sure: the Samba football drama is heating up!
