Brazil eyes Tite as Dunga out
Print Edition
CORINTHIANS boss Tite has been invited to take over as Brazil coach but talks on him replacing Dunga ended early yesterday and will continue “soon”, the Brazilian Football Confederation, or CBF, said.
Dunga was fired on Tuesday after a gloomy second spell in charge of the five-time World Cup winner. He was ousted after his side lost to Peru and was eliminated from the Copa America Centenario being played in the United States at the group stage for the first time since 1987.
The Brazilians drew 0-0 with Ecuador and beat Haiti 7-1 but were beaten 0-1 by Peru.
Tite is the overwhelming favorite to succeed Dunga and flew from Sao Paulo to meet with CBF bosses in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday night.
“It was a good first chat but it was inconclusive,” CBF spokesman Douglas Lunardi told reporters after three hours of talks ended around midnight.
“The two sides decided to take stock,” he added. “It was a good first meeting. It wasn’t frustrating. It was a setting out of concepts and ideas.”
“The sides decided to take it up again soon.”
No date was set for a resumption of talks, Lunardi said.
Tite took Corinthians to Brazil’s Serie A title in 2011 and 2015, and led them to the Copa Libertadores and World Club Cup for the first time in 2012.
Dunga had never coached until he was first hired as Brazil boss in 2006. He led it to the Copa America in Venezuela in his first major tournament the following year. He was fired in 2010, immediately after Brazil was eliminated by the Netherlands at the quarterfinal stage of that year’s World Cup.
