Brazil's football federation sacked manager Dorival Junior following a humiliating 4-1 defeat to Argentina in World Cup qualifying. Despite sitting fourth in the South American group and having a viable path to the 2026 finals, the board deemed it necessary to make a change after a series of disappointing results. During his tenure, Junior achieved a record of seven wins, six draws, and three losses, marking a challenging period for the national team. Reports surface that Jorge Jesus is among the top candidates to replace him and that Brazil continues to pursue Carlo Ancelotti’s potential interest in the role.
