Is Brazil changing its 'no one but Brazilians' policy in hiring coaches?
The coach of Brazil will be Brazilian, Argentina Argentina. Why only the two superpowers of South America, the superpowers like Spain, Italy, Portugal, France in Europe have always found one of the local coaches in search of national team coaches.
Foreign
coaches in the national team that hurts their pride!
However,
Brazil is coming out of that trend! After the World Cup in Qatar, Tite will not
be longer coach for Neymars, that's for sure. The search for his replacement
has begun. However, this time the eyes of the Brazilian Football Federation
(CBF) are not fixed on Brazil.
CBF
president Ednaldo Rodriguez has said that there are no obligations that
Brazil's next coach must be a Brazilian. No matter what Brazil does in the
World Cup, it is certain that Tite will be no more Brazil coaches.
Then
who is coming next in charge, there is no end to the speculation! A few days
ago, the name of Spanish coach Pep Guardiola of Manchester City was heard quite
loudly. Although Guardiola said at the time, there are many good coaches in
Brazil to be coach of Brazil team. The Guardiola-Brazil buzz has subsided in
the last few days.
But
now it is time to realize the buzz again! This morning, Turkish journalist
Ekrem Connor said that Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus is on the short list to be
the coach of Brazil. The 67-year-old Jesus, who was sacked from his second term
at Benfica last December, had previously coached in Portugal.
Notable
among them are Benfica and Sporting Lisbon. Benfica have won ten titles in the
first leg, including the league three times in six years, and two cups in
Sporting.
However,
the name of Jesus is being heard more and more in the run of the Brazilian
coach, his extraordinary year at the Brazilian club Flamengo! Jesus Flamengo
has won the Brazilian League, the South American Club Trophy Copa Libertadores,
the Brazilian Supercup, the Continental Supercup all in one year. FIFA Club
World Cup runners-up!
The
buzz around Jesus is getting louder and louder because of the buzz around that
day. CBF President Ednaldo Rodriguez said, "There is no rule that (Titus'
successor) must be a Brazilian. As he has to be a foreign coach, there are no
hard and fast rules. I will talk about this after the end of the World Cup. '
Brazil
has opened the door for foreign coaches, after the news that the rumors
surrounding Guardiola will be heard again! Earlier, the Spanish daily Marca
also wrote that Rodriguez had offered Guardiola to be the coach. But a month
ago, Rodriguez, the CBF president-elect for a four-year term, reiterated that
he had not made such an offer to Guardiola.
"Guardiola
is a coach who always wants to win, there is nothing new about him. Players,
coaches have done great in both roles. However, neither the CBF nor its
president has given permission for Guardiola to try to coach Brazil, "said
Rodriguez.
There
has been a lot of talk about the Brazilian coach because of Titus'
announcement. In an interview on February 25, Tito said he would no longer be
Brazil's coach after the World Cup. He said the same thing again after the
Qatar World Cup group stage draw in April. However, he said that he wants a
Brazilian as his successor.
