Scolari officially out. Of course, changing just him won't fix anything. Saw data the other day that there are over 250 active players with at least one national team call up. There is and will continue to be zero long term planning and continuity, as the objective will still be to fool some European or Qatari team into spending a boatload of money on some "Brazil national team member."

Brazilian media reporting that CBF is going all out after a foreign coach. Pellegrini, Sabella and Mourinho have been contacted, and all 3 turned it down.

To be fair, I am actually more surprised they thought these people would say yes. CBF won't come close to matching even half the salary Mourinho or Pellegrini make. And then they would be taking a job where anything short of winning everything will get you fired (Scolari's predecessor was essentially fired for losing the Olympics gold medal), and they wouldn't have full control of everything, because national clubs and agents would still pressure them to take the player they want to sell.

Remember how I was saying that player managers and agents have a disproportionate power within CBF?

Well, CBF has decided to drop all pretense and named Gilmar Rinaldi as the "technical coordinator" (he's Parreira's replacement, not Scolari's). Now, what has Gilmar done since he retired as a goalkeeper? He's an agent. In fact, he is or was the agent for Adriano, Vagner Love, etc.

Edit:
And his first act as "technical coordinator" is to complain that players used a hat with "forca neymar" written in them after the Colombia match.


Edit 2: Some media reporting that Dunga is now the favorite to return as head coach.

He'd have done great with this squad imo. His mistake last world cup was letting Melo anywhere near the team. Van Bommel and Melo on the pitch was only ever going to end one way

Was Dunga forced to resign or was he just eager to move on to something else? I thought he did pretty well.

Just by changing the manager won't fix Brazil's problems though I hope they realize that.

This will happen about the same point as birds realize that you can't actually fly through glass and Ashley Young realizes that you don't have to cut inside *every* time

They realize it. It's just that the goal isn't to form a great national team. It is to sell players and make a lot of money. The fact that they've just nominated Gilmar Rinaldi technical coordinator (essentially he is in charge of all national teams, from the men's u-17 to the women's) is evidence of that, considering his only experience is as an agent (Adriano's agent, so you have an idea).
