British media personality Piers Morgan has predicted that the 2026 FIFA World Cup could produce a historic outcome, with a national team coached by a foreign manager lifting the trophy for the first time.
Sharing his thoughts on the tournament, Morgan identified England and Brazil as his leading contenders for the title.
England are currently under the leadership of German coach Thomas Tuchel, while Brazil are being managed by experienced Italian tactician Carlo Ancelotti.
According to Morgan, the long-standing trend of countries winning the World Cup with homegrown coaches could finally come to an end at this year’s tournament.
In a post on X, he expressed confidence that either England or Brazil would emerge champions, paving the way for Tuchel or Ancelotti to make football history.
The prediction has generated discussion among football fans, as both teams are widely regarded as strong contenders for the prestigious trophy.
Brazil will begin their World Cup campaign against Morocco, while England are set to face Croatia in their opening match.
The Three Lions are hoping to end their decades-long wait for World Cup glory, having last won the tournament in 1966, while Brazil are chasing another title to add to their record-breaking collection of World Cup triumphs.
With the competition now underway, all eyes will be on the two football giants to see whether Morgan’s bold prediction becomes reality.
