TVC E. Adenor Leonardo Bacchi, better known as Tite, is set to be named imminently as Dunga’s replacement at the helm of the Brazil team, after the president of Corinthians confirmed his exit.
Dunga paid the price for two Copa America failures with the Selecao and a poor start to the team’s World Cup qualifiers as he was sacked on Tuesday, along with coordinator Gilmar Rinaldi.
While the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) is yet to officially announce his successor, Corinthians’ Roberto Andrade let slip the move during a press conference.
“The professor Tite is no longer Corinthians coach, and he will not be in control for tomorrow [Thursday’s] game,” the president told journalists the day before the Timao face Fluminense.
“Cleber Xavier, Matheus, his son, and Edu Gaspar will also be leaving with him.”
He will be expected to overhaul the team and improve it after they failed to get out of the group stage of this year’s Copa America.
He is famous for his successful stint at Corinthians, which he trained from 2004 to 2005; then from 2010 to 2013, when he lead the team to their first Copa Libertadores title and a second FIFA Club World Cup title; and, after taking a sabbatical year to study more about modern football, from 2015 until June 2016 when he became coach for the national team.
Tite is Known for his eloquency, rhetoric and demeanor off the pitch.
