The 2026 World Cup has started with difficulties for the two Italian coaches, Carlo Ancelotti and Vincenzo Montella, who are facing great pressure after their teams' first results.
In the Brazilian camp, the draw against Morocco has opened the first debates about Carlo Ancelotti's work. Despite the criticism, the Italian coach continues to enjoy the trust of the leaders and part of the sports opinion, who estimate that he has had little time to build the new identity of the "Selecao".
The situation is more complicated for Vincenzo Montella. Turkey's 2-0 defeat to Australia in their World Cup debut has drawn strong reactions from the Turkish media and fans. At the center of criticism are the coach's tactical choices and management of the group at a delicate moment in the tournament.
According to Turkish media reports, Montella's position has been put under question and the name of legend Fatih Terim has begun to be mentioned as a possible alternative in the event of changes on the bench.
Now, the upcoming matches will be crucial for both coaches. Ancelotti is looking to lead Brazil towards the tournament's big goals, while Montella needs positive results to keep Turkey's hopes alive and quiet the critical voices that have grown after a difficult start to the North American World Cup.
