What they posted

MY WORLD CUP PREDICTION: No country has ever won it with a foreign manager, but this is the year that ends. England or Brazil will win, and Tuchel or Ancelotti will make history.

Why it's Truth

Wikipedia lists of winning managers, Forbes, USA Today, The Athletic, and FIFA reporting all confirm no foreign manager has ever won the men's World Cup through 2026 (Spain's Luis de la Fuente). Only two reached finals and lost.
