Brazil's national football team has parted ways with coach Dorival Junior after a disappointing 4-1 defeat against Argentina in World Cup qualifying. This loss underscored a troubling trend, as Brazil managed only one win in their last five matches and needed a last-minute goal to edge past Colombia. The Brazilian Football Confederation confirmed his departure, wishing him success moving forward while beginning the search for a successor. Despite their recent struggles, Brazil remains in a strong position to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, currently sitting fourth in the South American qualifiers.
The Brazilian Football Confederation announces that coach Dorival Junior will no longer be in charge of the Brazilian National Team, attributing his departure to recent poor performances.
Dorival pays price for dismal Brazil form as the defeat to Argentina marked a nadir in a rotten run for Brazil, having won just one of their last five matches.
Despite a poor run, Brazil is likely to progress to the World Cup finals, sitting fourth in CONMEBOL qualifying on 21 points.
The CBF is now in search of a replacement for Dorival Junior after a string of disappointing results, with Jorge Jesus emerging as a favored candidate.
