Build-up to England v Brazil – Gordon handed debut & Watkins starts
Author: BBC Sport
It was late February 2022 when Tite revealed he would be stepping down as Brazil head coach at the end of the Qatar World Cup.
That, in theory, gave the Brazilian FA (CBF) plenty of time to work on his replacement. As it turned out, though, it wasn’t enough.
Since then, the Selecao have had two caretaker managers – Ramon Menezes and Fernando Diniz – and another manager they assumed had been hired and publicly announced it but wasn’t – Carlo Ancelotti.
Only now will Brazil finally have in Dorival Jr a permanent manager in charge, putting an end to what was largely perceived back home as “a lost year”.
“That was the result of much disorganisation and also some arrogance to believe that any coach would just come running [to take the job] because it’s the Brazilian national team,” former Brazil international Walter Casagrande, now a popular football pundit, told BBC Sport.
