Real Valladolid owner and World Cup winner Ronaldo Nazario says Brazil still have good options to replace coach Tite.
The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) is in search of the successor to the 61-year-old head coach as they start preparing for the 2024 Copa América and the start of the new World Cup cycle. Ronaldo gave a list of candidates that could take over the managerial job and aim to win the World Cup in 2026.
“There are a lot of amazing names that would do a lot of good. [Carlo] Ancelotti, Abel [Ferreira], from Palmeiras, [José] Mourinho, from Roma…They are incredible names. All of them have contracts. I don’t know what the CBF will do, but my opinion is that it would support a foreign name,” said Ronaldo during an interview with Globo.
“The Brazilian options, I don’t see many. What I wanted to say is that Fernando Diniz is one of the Brazilian names that I like the most. Anyway, before the coach’s announcement, the CBF will still have other announcements to make.
“The coach’s choice comes from a philosophy of how the CBF board or the president wants the team to play. Based on this concept that the Seleçao chooses, it is possible to look for the most suitable profiles for this game.”
