Tite Is New Brazil Coach

Dunga’s replacement as Brazil national team coach has been named by the country’s football federation, the CBF.

The former captain was sacked after Brazil’s elimination from the group stages of the Copa América Centenário, and Tite has been named as the new coach.

The news was confirmed by Corinthians president Roberto de Andrade, who was furious with the approach from Brazilian football federation, and said that they did not deserve a professional like Tite.

Tite met Brazil FA president Marco Polo Del Nero on Tuesday night and after discussions which lasted three hours, made his decision on Wednesday.

Tite, who made Corinthians World Club champions in 2012 with a victory over Premier League side Chelsea, wanted the Brazil job after the dismissal of Luiz Felipe Scolari, but CBF snubbed him and appointed Dunga.

Corinthians president Roberto de Andrade said: “From today, Tite no longer works with us. He has accepted the invitation from CBF”.

He added: “I was the first person he told about the decision. Until two hours ago, I thought that he wouldn’t go, I was surprised. CBF do not deserve to have a professional with the character that Tite has.”

Brazil Fire Dunga Following Poor Copa America

The Brazil Football Confederation (CBF) have sacked senior national team coach Dunga following the team’s exit from the Copa America.

The Selecao suffered a disappointing group stage exit from the competition hosted in the United States of America, after one draw, a win and a defeat to Peru on Sunday.

After a meeting at the CBF headquarters, it was announced that Dunga and his entire technical team have been relieved of their duty with the national team.

“The Brazilian Football Confederation informs that it has decided this Tuesday to dissolve the coaching staff of the Brazilian national football team,” said a statement from the CBF.

“Coordinator Gilmar Rinaldi, coach Dunga and all their technical staff will leave their positions.”

“The decision was made in mutual agreement in this afternoon’s meeting and the CBF will now start its selection process for a new Brazil coaching staff.

“The CBF thanks the dedication, professionalism and commitment of the team in its work.”

The former World Cup-winning gaffer took over from Luis Felipe Scolari after the 2014 World Cup on home soil.
