It has long been known that the World Cup in Qatar will be the last for the experienced strategist Tite on the bench of the national team. He announced his departure a few months ago and gave FS Brazil enough time to devote himself to looking for a replacement. Since then, numerous names have been mentioned in the context of Brazil’s selection bench, but no concrete confirmations have ever come.Want trophies but not that good football? Abel FerreiraWant enjoyable football but virgin trophy? Fernando Diniz Want slightly enjoybale but virgin? Dorival Jr https://t.co/Kz9ujDPj2A— サイクロンの都市 (@YakumiSarai) October 7, 2022 But, last night when the president of the association Ednaldo Rodríguez confirmed that three safe names are in circulation. We are talking about the coaches of the Brazilian giants Palmeiras, Flamengo and Fluminense: Abel Ferreira, Dorival Junior and Fernando Diniz.”Brazilian football has an inexhaustible source of great coaches. I can confirm that the three of them are candidates, but it is not fair to talk only about them and forget the others because we have at least 10 more quality candidates. We are currently focused on preparations for Qatar. We will make a decision about Tite’s successor after the World Cup,” said Rodriguez.No room for Gabriel Jesus in the national team? The Italians can say goodbye to BremerAbel Ferreira is a Portuguese specialist who has worked wonders since taking over at Palmeiras two years ago. The green giant wrote the most successful pages in the club’s history with him on the bench. They have won the Copa Libertadores twice in a row, which hardly anyone has managed to do, they have also won the Brazilian Cup, and they are currently well on their way to win the first league title since Ferreira’s arrival. Without a doubt, he is the most successful coach in Brazilian football in the last two years, but the public complains about his style of play. Palmeiras play hard and competitive football which goes against the football ideology in the country and what the Selecao is supposed to represent: wins and ‘Joga Bonito’. In addition, he is not Brazilian, and the lobby of old domestic coaches is quite powerful and opposes the idea of a foreigner leading the Selecao.‘Whoever plays Neymar on the wing is a donkey’Fernando Diniz is the complete opposite. He is 48 years old, he has changed a bunch of clubs, led greats like Sao Paulo, Vasco, Santos and is now spending his second term in Fluminense. The problem is that he won nothing. He does not have any important trophies in his career. But the teams play football he likes and he has the support of the public. Although his Fluminense are 15 points behind Ferreira’s Palmeiras in the championship, Diniz is the most popular coach in the country. Even the style of football played by his teams was nicknamed “Dinizism”. The emphasis in the game is on team football, which starts with the goalkeeper and involves the whole team. A large number of passes, dominance in possession and the 4-2-3-1 system are Diniz’s signature. But there is no trophy…🚨DID YOU KNOW: Brazil is the only country in football history to qualify for every FIFA World Cup. 🇧🇷🏆Since 1930..💥✅✅👏👏👏🤝✊✊❤️❤️ pic.twitter.com/5MNhZPVpxM— Dogo M Shettima (@ShettimaDogo) October 1, 2022 Finally, there is the experienced Dorival Junior. He led as many as 20 different Brazilian clubs, nine of the 12 biggest in the country, and he is currently in his third term on the Flamengo bench. Although he did not win a trophy in his colorful career and his biggest success so far is one cup in the Brazil Cup, he is now going through his most successful era. He led Flamengo to the final of the Copa Libertadores, where Atletico Paranaense is waiting for him, and he also reached the final of the Brazil Cup, where his opponent will be Corinthians. He is only fifth in the championship, but he can be forgiven because he took over the team in the middle of the season and had a streak of 20 matches without defeat. His advantage is that he has a foothold among the more prominent coaching names and officials in Brazil and that Tite has reportedly said he is the best candidate to succeed him.##NAJAVA_MECA_6706447##Brazilian fans took to social media to simplify this race:”If you want trophies, take Abel Ferreira. If you want a nice game, get Diniz. If you don’t want any of that, take Dorival”. Anyway, the Brazilian Football Federation will have to decide between the three in the next couple of months.Brazil stay on top heading to Qatar 🌍🏆 pic.twitter.com/qDoJvkX9MG— B/R Football (@brfootball) October 6, 2022 Tite took over the Selecao in 2016 after Carlos Dunga’s second, unsuccessful tenure and Copa America failure. At the World Cup in Russia, he was eliminated in the quarter-finals by Belgium, and the following year he won the Copa America on home soil. He recorded great results in the World Cup qualifiers and is currently the coach with the highest percentage of wins in the history of the Brazilian national team (81.34%).
