British media personality Piers Morgan has shared his bold prediction for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, tipping England or Brazil to lift the trophy and make history in the process. According to Morgan, the tournament will finally see a nation managed by a foreign coach claim the title—a feat never achieved before.
Writing on X, Morgan pinpointed England, currently under the guidance of German tactician Thomas Tuchel, and Brazil, led by Italian manager Carlo Ancelotti, as the two frontrunners. He stated that either Tuchel or Ancelotti would become the first foreign manager to lead a team to World Cup glory.
The 2026 competition marks a potential milestone as both England and Brazil enter with overseas coaches. England, who have not won the World Cup since 1966, are set to begin their campaign against Croatia next Wednesday. Meanwhile, Brazil, chasing their sixth title, will open their tournament on Saturday against Morocco.
Morgan’s comments have sparked debate among fans, with many questioning whether a foreign manager can break the historic trend. If his prediction holds true, it would not only crown a champion but also rewrite the record books.
