Mano Menezes sacked as Brazil coach The Selecao boss failed to deliver both the Copa America and Olympic trophies, and has left his post just 19 months before the 2014 World Cup Mano Menezes has been dismissed from his post as Brazil coach following a meeting with the CBF (Brazilian Football Federation) on Thursday. The 50-year-old took charge of his nation in 2010 after a disappointing World Cup campaign under previous coach Dunga, and led the Selecao at both the 2011 Copa America and the 2012 Olympics. However, his side crashed out of the Argentina-hosted tournament to Paraguay on penalties, before stumbling to a 2-1 loss to Mexico in London in the summer. Menezes released a brief statement on his official Twitter account shortly after being relieved of his duties on Friday. "I am no longer the coach of Brazil. I thank all those that worked with me on this special project, all the players, and to all the people that believe in our work. I wish success to Selecao ahead of our biggest dream, the 2014 World Cup." Corinthians coach Tite, Santos boss Muricy Ramalho and Luiz Felipe Scolari, who masterminded Brazil's 2002 World Cup victory, have been installed as the early favourites to succeed Menezes and continue the Selecao's preparations ahead of World Cup 2014. http://www.goal.com/en-gh/news/4349/main/2012/11/23/3551154/mano-menezes-sacked-as-brazil-coach |

The CBF are absolutely nuts! Losing on penalties to Paraguay and the Olympic final to Mexico shouldn't have necessitated such an action. Menezes was discovering some exciting new players and fine-tuning Brazil's tactical formation. Now, a new coach might have to start all over again. Scolari isn't the right person for the job, judging from his stint as Chelsea's coach. His rigid adherence to d archaic 4-4-2 formation will put the Selecao at a disadvantage to other teams that would play either 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3. |

CFCfan: The CBF are absolutely nuts! Losing on penalties to Paraguay and the Olympic final to Mexico shouldn't have necessitated such an action. Menezes was discovering some exciting new players and fine-tuning Brazil's tactical formation. You can't judge Scolari based on his time at Chelsea. He started well, had a slump and was sacked. If you judge Scolari with his time as Brazil's National team coach and when he coached Portugal, you will know he is a good coach. He was only at Chelsea for Seven Months. That is hardly enough time to judge a coach. Imagine if Man City had sacked Mancini after Seven Months. He would have looked like a bad coach. |
