It seemed as if Brazil had overcome what had been a turgid and grinding take a look at when Neymar netted to put the Selecao 1-0 up in further time of their World Cup quarter-final in opposition to Croatia.
A late Bruno Petkovic equaliser and subsequent penalty shootout defeat, nevertheless, introduced all euphoria and aid crashing down. An expectant Brazil gunning for a sixth star had been knocked out of the World Cup on the quarter-final stage; and, after six years on the helm, Tite gave up the reins.
Attentions are actually on a long-term successor and, discounting the likes of Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti, 90min ranks the very best candidates to have been linked with the emptiness beneath.
Brazil are reportedly open to appointing a overseas coach to succeed Tite.
One identify to have been thrown into the ring is that of Jorge Sampaoli. An undoubtedly proficient coach, the present Sevilla boss has cast his success from a fluid model of soccer whereas remaining strong on the again – as his Champions League football-attaining 2021/22 marketing campaign with Marseille demonstrated.
While he has worldwide expertise, nevertheless, he is at the moment within the midst of a severe battle with Sevilla and, in any case, the appointment of an Argentinian won’t go down too nicely with the fan base.
A Portuguese boss could swimsuit higher, and Jorge Jesus has been a recommended successor to Tite. While unlikely, he is a robust candidate.
The now Fenerbahce boss is a confirmed champion, notably profitable the Brazilian Serie A and Copa Libertadores amongst 5 honours he beforehand earned in a single marketing campaign with Flamengo.
The depth and fiery dynamism he calls for from his gamers would undoubtedly be a welcomed sight for Brazil followers, who had been left understandably despondent by their nation’s efficiency in Qatar.
Talking of dynamism, Thomas Tuchel has been tipped as an out of doors probability to take the job.
The German has been with out work since leaving Chelsea, so has to be tempted by the prospect of main a nationwide facet as prestigious as Brazil.
An knowledgeable in coping with, and bringing collectively, monumental egos and massive personalities and a high tactician, Tuchel’s appointment would be fascinating to witness – even when it’s a impossible state of affairs.
Renato Gaucho can be at the moment with out work and is taken into account a number one contender to succeed Tite.
Having represented his nation, profitable the 1989 Copa America, and been largely profitable in his native Brazil, he went on to raise numerous titles with Fluminense and Gremio as a manager.
60-year-old Gaucho is at the moment in his fourth managerial spell with Gremio, however is undoubtedly one of many frontrunners for the nationwide job.
As is Dorival Junior, who was beforehand linked with the job earlier than Tite arrived in put up.
Dorival is a staggeringly skilled manager, having coached over 20 golf equipment in Brazil and overseen the progress of some world-class expertise – akin to each Neymar and Robinho at Santos.
He is aware of Brazilian soccer inside out and has collected an array of honours in his numerous roles, most lately lifting the Copa Libertadores and Copa do Brazil with Flamengo in 2022.
It’s no shock the 60-year-old is among the favourites for the Brazil job – it is nearly the one factor he hasn’t carried out.
Fernando Diniz is not at all as embellished as a few of the different main candidates within the working, however his excitingly offensive model of play would be a terrific match for the present Selecao crop.
He’s an skilled coach in his dwelling nation and is extensively recognised as a high tactician implementing the gorgeous sport. Known by some because the Brazilian Guardiola, he may be a danger, however he actually has the potential to be the one to lead his nation to a sixth world crown.
Many individuals’s primary decide for the job is Abel Ferreira, who was the fast goal of hypothesis following the announcement of Tite’s departure.
After promising however fruitless administration spells in his native Portugal, Ferreira has skilled gorgeous success in Brazil with Palmeiras. The winner of two Copa Libertadores titles and a Brazilian Serie A crown – amongst different honours – since his arrival in 2020, it is secure to say that Brazil has been impressed by the 44-year-old.
Having led Palmeiras to this glory by utilising comparable techniques to the likes of Didier Deschamps with France on the world stage – that is to say defending with a solidified mid-block earlier than relying upon the attacking genius of his forwards – you possibly can see why he is thought of the perfect successor to Tite by many.
