Brazil Sacks Head Coach Dorival Jr After 4-1 Loss to Argentina

News summary

Brazil's national football team has officially dismissed head coach Dorival Jr following a crushing 4-1 defeat to Argentina in World Cup qualifying, marking the team's heaviest loss in this context. Appointed in January 2024 after a prolonged search that failed to secure Carlo Ancelotti, Dorival struggled with only seven wins in 16 matches. The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) acknowledged that there had been little progress since Brazil's lackluster Copa America campaign last year, leading to increased pressure for a change in leadership. While Ancelotti remains a preferred candidate, he is under contract with Real Madrid until 2026, prompting speculation about other potential successors like Jorge Jesus. The CBF has stated they will actively seek a replacement to restore Brazil's footballing reputation as they prepare for upcoming qualifiers against Ecuador and Paraguay. The decision reflects the urgent need to address ongoing challenges within the team as they aim for World Cup success.
