Brazil sacks coach after humiliating defeat

The Brazilian Football Confederation has decided to dismiss the head coach of the national team, Dorival Junior. This was reported by UOL.

The defeat was the reason

The main reason for the Brazilian leadership to come to this decision was the 1:4 defeat to Argentina in the 2026 World Cup qualifying tournament. Such a major defeat caused serious criticism in Brazilian football.

The problems are not only in the defeat

In fact, there were already objections to Dorival Junior. In particular, the team's lack of confidence in the Copa America last year raised doubts among the leadership.

The coach's hiring of his son Lucas Silvestre as his assistant has also caused controversy. Previously, the position was held by experienced former defender Juan, and the management did not like the idea of ​​​​taking the place of the coach's son.

Dorival Junior's brief career

The 62-year-old specialist accepted the post of head coach of the Brazilian national team in January 2024. However, under his leadership, the five-time world champions are in fourth place in the World Cup qualifiers.

So far, there has been no official information about who will be the new head coach of the Brazilian national team. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
