Dunga has been sacked from his position as Brazil manager after a disastrous Copa America Centenario.

 

The Selecao were eliminated from the tournament in the group stage after drawing with Ecuador and losing to Peru, either side of a 7-1 victory over Haiti, which proved irrelevant.

He is expected to be replaced by Corinthians manager Tite, who will take charge of the side at the upcoming Olympic Games, held in Brazil.

Brazil could only manage a single victory at this summer’s tournament in the United States, a 7-1 win.

Dunga came into the tournament under pressure after his team underperformed in their 2018 World Cup qualifiers.

That was compounded by poor performances in the United States this month, leading to his dismissal.

‘The Brazilian Football Confederation announced on Tuesday the decision to dissolve the Brazilian national team’s technical commitee. Leaving their positions are the teams coordinator, Gilmar Rinaldi, coach Dunga, and his entire team. The decision was taken in agreement during a meeting this afternoon and, from now, the CBF is starting the process of choosing the new technical committee for the Brazilian national team', a statement released by the CBF read, according to the BBC.
