Decision made. Dorival Júnior to be dismissed as Brazil's national team coach
What was considered a matter of time has effectively already come to pass.
Details: According to Uol, the Brazilian federation's management has decided to dismiss Dorival Júnior from his position as head coach of the team. Today, representatives of the association will meet with the coach, but it is believed that there is no turning back, and the meeting will confirm his departure.
It is believed that Dorival Júnior's problems began to surface during the Copa América, and the crushing 1-4 defeat to Argentina was their culmination, with many lost matches being attributed to the coach's responsibility.
Candidates mentioned for the role of Brazil's new head coach include Felipe Luis from Flamengo, Abel Ferreira from Palmeiras, and Jorge Jesus from Al-Hilal. There was also interest in Carlo Ancelotti, but the Italian stated that no one from Brazil had approached him.
In fact, the source confirms this, stating that the federation's management has not yet held talks with the candidates. These will take place after Dorival Júnior's official resignation.
Reminder: At the helm of the "Seleção," the 62-year-old coach led 16 matches: seven wins, six draws, and three losses.
