Brazil hired a new coach after firing Diniz

In the midst of the possible sanction facing Brazil’s men’s national football team and the removal of Fernando Diniz from the position, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) hired Dorival Júnior to lead the squad after Carlo Ancelotti’s rejection.Comings and goings since the dismissal of Tite, who failed to get past the quarterfinals at the Qatar 2022 World Cup, They left the Brazilian national team without a permanent coach for the last year. The approaches to Ancelotti, who came close to severing his link with Real Madrid, ultimately did not come to fruition, and perhaps the departure of Ednaldo Rodrigues from the CBF was part of the final result. I felt very honoured, but it depended on my situation at Real Madrid. In the last few months it happened that Ednaldo is no longer president of the CBF and things went the way I wanted, which was to stay in Madrid,” said the Italian coach when renewing his contract with the Casablanca.La dismissal of Rodrígues due to legal problems opened the door to the arrival of a new coach, after failing to get Ancelotti’s signature. and upon confirming the breakdown of the relationship with the Italian, the management contacted the president of São Paulo, Julio Caseres, to inform him about the intentions to hire the coach of the first team. In the last few hours, sources close to the CBF confirmed to Brazilian newspapers the arrival of Dorival Júnior, 61 years old and with an extensive career in local soccer. As a coach, the Brazilian was in charge of teams such as Vasco da Gama, Santos, Atlético Mineiro and Internacional, highlighting his time at Flamengo, a team with which he won the Copa Libertadores in 2022 and, in the same season, the Brazilian Cup. During the last season, Junior won the local cup with São Paulo, an achievement that took away his poor performance in the championship. In a new challenge for his career, the Brazilian coach will have to overcome an unusual situation for the team that occupies sixth place in the World Cup Qualifiers with seven points in six games played – three consecutive defeats – and recently lost its historic unbeaten record at the Maracanã with a 1-0 defeat against Argentina.
