There is also the Real technician in the rose of names for the greeno -gold bench: the Portuguese Jorge Jesus also in the running
Dorival Júnior’s adventure at the helm of Brazil arrived at the terminus. After the 4-1 collected in Buenos Aires, the Seleção coach was exonerated, who now dreams of Carlo Ancelotti. They waited for him in Brazil a year ago, before he chose to stay at Real Madrid: a fool for the Brazilian football confederation (CBF) who, convinced that he already had the agreement, had also exempted the interim coach Fernando Diniz. Dorival Júnior, exonerated today after just over a year, arrived on the green -gold bench. Much, however, will depend on the choices of Florentino Pérez, president of a Real still in the race in the Champions League, and that, between June and July, he will play the Club World Cup. The feeling is that only then will the future of the Italian coach be clarified.
The Dorival balance
–
He landed at the helm of Seleçao in January 2024, Dorival collected seven wins, seven draws and two defeats. The last last Tuesday: 4-1 in Buenos Aires against Argentina, considered the heaviest fool of the history of the Verdeoro national team after 7-1 suffered by Germany at the 2014 World Cup. In the Dorival world qualifications, he obtained only 21 of the 42 points available. His work was already contested before the blow against the Argentines, despite the public opinion does not consider the current generation of among the most brilliant players of a national champion of the world champion. The Verdeoro are in fourth place for the eliminations for 2026: fortunately for the Seleçao to qualify they are the first six in the standings, while the seventh will still have the opportunity to detach the pass with the playoff. The next match in Brazil is scheduled for June 5 in the Ecuador home, while on 10 the Seleçao will host Paraguay. The question remains on who the CT of the Verdeoro will be, with the Federation called to dissolve the doubt whether or not to wait for a CT that for those dates will not yet be free.
The alternatives
–
The alternative to Ancelotti, an old dream of President Ednaldo Rodrigues, is Jorge Jesus, Brazilian champion and the Libertadores Cup at the helm of Flamengo in 2019. The Portuguese today trains the Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia, but is very considered by the top of the CBF. His divorce from the Saudi society seems decidedly simpler than Ancelotti’s from Real Madrid. Among the other candidates, the Portuguese Abel Ferreira, Palmeiras coach, and Filipe Luís, a former left back of the Brazilian national team, promoted coach of Flamengo after the excellent work at the helm of the youth of the Rio club. However, the hypothesis of a foreign coach is always wider: 9 of the 20 teams of the Serie A Brazilian are led by foreigners, five Portuguese, four Argentines. After the humiliation of 2014 and the modest results in the 2018 and 2022 World Cup, Seleçao could rely on a non -Brazilian after 60 years.
