The São Paulo team said in a statement that Junior will no longer work for the “Sao Paulo” team in order to become the head coach of the Brazilian national team. The Brazilian Football Federation (CBF) has not yet confirmed him as head coach.
In 2022, the 61-year-old specialist led the “Flamengo” team from Rio de Janeiro to victory in the Brazilian Cup and triumph in the most prestigious football club tournament in South America, the “Copa Libertadores”. Also in 2023, under his leadership, the “Sao Paulo” team won the Brazilian Cup for the first time in the club’s history.
As the AP agency reported on Friday, Fernandu Dinis was dismissed as coach of the Brazilian national team, with whom the contract was concluded until the middle of this year. It was planned that Carlo Ancelotti, coach of Real Madrid, could take over the management of the national team, but recently he extended his contract with the Madrid team.
Under Dinis’ leadership, the Brazilian national team suffered three straight defeats in 2026 World Cup qualifying and is currently in sixth place in the South American qualifying zone, eight points behind leaders Argentina.
