The topic of who will lead Brazil after the 2022 World Cup is a hotly debated one at the moment. The football federation is on the hunt for a new manager following their exit from the World Cup and consequentially, the departure of Tite who coached the team for 8 years without much success.
As his replacement, Brazil perhaps want the biggest name of all. The football nation wants to invite “Manchester City” head coach Pep Guardiola to coach Brazil
According to reports , Brazilian Football Federation (CBF) President Ednaldo Rodrigues will be in touch with Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola to hear from him about his plans. The CBF are in no hurry to appoint manager and want to hear what Guardiola has in mind in the short and medium-term.
Guardiola just renewed his deal with City until 2025, but Brazil may try to turn his head. There have been links between the two in the past after Guardiola left Barcelona and he would become the first non-Brazilian to take over the Selecao.
In the likely event that Guardiola stays, Fernando Diniz of Fluminense, Abel Ferreira of Palmeiras and Rogerio Ceni of Sao Paulo have also been linked to the position.
While ex international , such as Ronaldo Nazario welcome the possibility of a foreign coach taking charge of the Brazil national team , others such as Rivaldo remain against the idea.
The former Barcelona and AC Milan player took to social media to voice his displeasure at the idea and offered a list of alternatives that would be better suited to lead the Brazilan national team.
The representatives of the Brazilian federation will soon contact Pep Guardiola and try to convince him to coach Brazil
Brazilian national team failed in the framework of the World Football Championship in Qatar, losing to the Croatian national team in the quarter-finals with a penalty shootout. After the match, head coach Tite resigned as head coach.
