MANO Menezes, a specialist in leading big clubs out of the doldrums but little-known outside his own country, became the coach of Brazil yesterday when he accepted an offer from the five-time world champion.
The 48-year-old, currently coach of Corinthians, confirmed he had said yes to the Brazilian Football Confederation, which had been turned down by Muricy Ramalho the day before after his club Fluminense refused to release him.
"For the whole of Brazil, I say that I officially accept the invitation," Menezes told a news conference at his club in Sao Paolo.
Menezes, who replaces Dunga in the hot seat, will have the huge task of trying to rebuild Brazil's national team, discredited after its quarterfinal exit World Cup exit against the Netherlands three weeks ago, and win a sixth world title when it hosts the 2014 World Cup.
Menezes made his name in 2005 when he led former South American champion Gremio out of the second division.
