Officially The New Coach Of The Brazilian National Team

 

Dorival Junior has quit as coach of Brazilian side Sao Paulo to take charge of Brazil’s National team, the club said in a statement on Sunday.

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) announced on Friday that Fernando Diniz, appointed last year on an interim basis, had been sacked in order to hire a permanent coach to prepare the team for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Dorival was Brazil’s preferred choice for the job, sources told Reuters, after the CBF failed to recruit Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti, who chose to extend his contract with Real Madrid.

Sao Paulo Football Club announces the departure of coach Dorival Junior, who has asked to leave to take charge of the Brazilian national team,” the team said in a statement on X, formerly Twitter.

He said in the statement that it was “the realization of a personal dream, which was only possible because I received recognition for the work carried out in Sao Paulo. I would also like to thank the fans for all their love and support.”
