Why Brazil wants Liverpool to knock Madrid out of the UCL

21.02.2023 - 23:03 espn.com

Two months have gone by since the end of the World Cup, and Brazil are still without a replacement for coach Tite, who stepped down after the competition.

Local FA president Ednaldo Rodrigues originally gave himself an informal deadline of the end of January to appoint a new man.

That, obviously, has come and gone, and the decision has been made to put Ramon Meneses, the Under-20s boss, in charge for a friendly next month against Morocco.

For some this recalls the extraordinary story of Lionel Scaloni in charge of Argentina. With no previous senior coaching experience, he was made coach of the national side on a caretaker basis and ended up taking them all the way to glory in the World Cup.
