Brazil Sack Dunga After Copa America Exit by simplyolat(m): 11:14pm On Jun 14, 2016 |
Brazil coach Dunga was sacked on Tuesday
after the Selecao’s humiliating group-stage
elimination from the Copa America
Centenario.
The Brazilian Football Confederation said in a
statement it had decided to fire Dunga and
“dissolve the Brazilian national team’s
coaching staff” following their latest debacle.
The news came after CBF officials met with
Dunga earlier on Tuesday.
The exit from the Copa America centennial
edition in the United States was the latest
blow to demoralised, recession-hit Brazil,
which is still reeling from the national
team’s 7-1 World Cup semi-final thrashing
by Germany on home soil in 2014.
After an opening 0-0 draw with Ecuador was
followed by a 7-1 win over Haiti, Brazil
needed a draw with Peru on Monday to
reach the quarter-finals but instead crashed
out of the tournament after controversially
losing 1-0 to a disputed goal.
Speculation had swirled that Dunga was on
his way out, but the coach said he was not
afraid of the sack.
“I am only afraid of death,” Dunga told
reporters.
Brazil are now left searching for a new
coach just weeks away from hosting the
Olympics in August, seeking to win football
gold for the first time.
Dunga, 52, won the Copa America twice as a
player and was captain of Brazil’s 1994
World Cup-winning squad. http://9jaspecial.com.ng/football/brazil-sack-dunga-after-copa-america-exit/ |
