Brazil are set to name their new manager, with reports suggesting Dunga is likely to return to the post. | |
Brazil will announce their manager on Tuesday to succeed Luiz Felipe Scolari, who resigned after Brazil failed to win the World Cup having suffered a humiliating 7-1 defeat by Germany in the semi-finals. | |
Reports say Dunga will get the job, although the Brazilian football confederation has declined to confirm the appointment. | Reports say Dunga will get the job, although the Brazilian football confederation has declined to confirm the appointment. |

The second choice for manager seems to be Tite – Adenor Leonardo Bacchi – the coach of the Brazilian club side Corinthians. He was an early favourite but slipped after Rinaldi was named. | |
Dunga was in charge of 60 matches as Brazil manager. Brazil won 42, drew 12 and lost six. |
