A painful 1-4 defeat to the Argentina national team has placed Brazil's head coach Dorival Júnior in an even more precarious position. This match has fueled rumors about his future with greater intensity.

Details: According to Globo, after the loss to Argentina, the Brazilian federation has rekindled discussions about when a coaching change should occur. It is believed that the March international window was supposed to be the ultimate evaluation point for Júnior's performance.

Now, the focus is on the timing of appointing a new coach. Carlo Ancelotti is still on the radar, but he can only be considered at best by July, after the conclusion of the Club World Cup. The Italian has reportedly told those close to him that he welcomes the interest from the Brazilians.

However, there are also less obvious candidates being mentioned: Filipe Luís from Flamengo, Abel Ferreira from Palmeiras, and Jorge Jesus from Al-Hilal.

Reminder: The match against Argentina marked a historically unpleasant achievement for the Brazilian team.
