Brazilian football leaders continue to work to find the future coach of Marquinhos and Neymar.

Who to replace Fernando Diniz on the Brazil bench? The name of Dorival Junior appeared since the president of the Brazilian Federation (CBF), Ednaldo Rodrigues (dismissed and then reappointed) contacted the Sao Paulo coach.

Which did not fail to create discomfort, indicates ESPN Brazil. The employers of the 61-year-old coach recalled that he is under contract until December 2024 and that they did not have a crazy desire to let him go.

A compromise would be for Dorival Junior to combine both functions, as does Fernando Diniz, also coach of Fluminense. In any case, the CBF does not want to waste time after the abandonment of the Carlo Ancelotti track who has just extended to Real Madrid.
