March debuts against England and Spain
The duration of the contract was not specified. According to local media, she is expected to run until the end of the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The formalization of the position left vacant since the dismissal of Fernando Diniz last week was expected after the announcement by São Paulo FC of the departure of Dorival Jr, its coach since April 2023, to join the national team.
Dorival Jr, 61, will therefore succeed his compatriot Fernando Diniz, 49, who since July 2023 has held the position of coach of the national team and the Fluminense of Rio de Janeiro, with whom he won the 2023 Copa Libertadores. Dorival Jr is expected to make his debut on the Brazil bench in March, in European friendlies against England and Spain.
