Brazil take a step back to Appoint Dunga as the Coach

Jul 23, 2014 18:05

Brazil’s national football team will now be coached by Carlos Dunga, who is taking up the same spot he was fired from in 2010 after Brazil lost the quarter-final to Netherlands. He was the captain of Brazil's 1994 World Cup-winning team as well. Luiz Felipe Scolari, who coached the Selecao this season has quit after their humiliating defeat against Germany in the semi-final match where they conceded 7 whole goals and managed to score only one at a time when it did not matter anymore.

The former defensive midfielder, whose real name is actually Carlos Caetano Bledorn Verriis is pretty blunt when it comes to describing the condition of Brazil’s national football team. 'We're no longer the best. We're all aware of this. We can't tell our fans that we're the best,” he says.

In 2006, he accepted the position of coach despite the fact that he had no previous experience being a coach. He had seen successes internationally as well as in club matches, took Brazil to the championships in the 2007 Copa America and the 2009 Confederations Cup along and also ensure that the squad qualified for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

The CBF confirmed the fact that Dunga will now coach the national team during a news conference at its headquarters in suburban Rio de Janeiro, but gave no details about salary. CBF President Jose Maria Marin indicated he wanted Dunga to continue until the 2018 World Cup in Russia. "He has shown his capacity to lead the Brazil team, not only in words but also in numbers, that he has all the requisites and the capacity to lead the Brazil team again," confederation president Jose Maria Marin said. "It was a decision made with the participation of everyone here at this table in a show of unity and total integration aimed at great conquests in the future."


Dunga’s talks have already set the stage for a change in strategy for the team’s tactics. Brazil will also play next year in the Copa America — the South American championship as well as in a special Copa America edition played in the United States in 2016.
