Brazilian Football Confederation thinks of Fernando Diniz as Tite’s successor

Even though there are high hopes for the 2022 World Cup, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), in total internal renewal, continues to plan for the future.

Qatar is in the spotlight, but work continues on the next owner of the bench, with the name of Fernando Diniz highlighted in the dispatches.

The current Fluminense team coach is very well placed to take over the reins of the five-time world champion in January 2023.

The first option was Pep Guardiola, whose brother and representative had several meetings, but the great difficulties of the operation have reduced hopes in the CBF to a minimum.

The Manchester City manager, with a contract at the Etihad until 2023, was offered to sign until 2026, at a rate of around €12 million (US$12 million) per year.

It was a compelling proposal, more so for a position like this, although it was also less economically than what Pep received in Manchester.

DINIZ, THE CONSENSUS NAME IN BRAZIL

With this route losing strength, there was a script twist, and the chosen one was preferred to be Brazilian.

For the president of the Confederation, the essential thing is to sign a person who knows how to manage a group as unique as that of the Seleção (Brazil’s national team), for which he believes that there are well-prepared professionals in the country, such as Diniz.

The CBF has already spoken with his representative to determine his intentions and claims.

The leader of Fluminense, moreover, has recently been praised, in public and in private, by players as important as Neymar.

Also, people of great importance in Brazilian football, such as the legendary Scolari, conductor of the Brazil team that won Korea and Japan in 2002, praised his candidacy, which is promising.
