Brazil sack coach Dorival after humiliating loss in Argentina

RIO DE JANEIRO : Brazil have sacked head coach Dorival Jr, the country's football confederation (CBF) said on Friday, after the five-times world champions were thrashed 4-1 away to fierce rivals Argentina in a humiliating qualifying loss in Buenos Aires.    The 62-year-old was appointed in January 2024 after the team spent a year under two caretaker coaches as the Brazilian FA were unable to lure Italian Carlo Ancelotti from Real Madrid.
