Two weeks after being kicked out of the World Cup, the Brazilian national team is still looking for Tita's replacement on the lines, and today (Friday) a surprising name came up for the position of coach - Jose Mourinho.
In Italy it was reported that the Portuguese is one of the top candidates to fill the position of coaching the national team.
Analdo Rodríguez, the president of the Brazilian Federation, personally decided to start talks with the coach's agent to speed up the process.
As you may remember, the South American team had many criticisms of the ability of Tita, who left the team after being eliminated in the quarter-finals of the World Cup against Croatia, and the desire was to bring in a big name of a foreign coach, rather than a local one.
After the likes of Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti rejected the Selecao's offer, Mourinho's name is the hottest right now.
Mourinho is under contract in Rome until June 2024, but reports from Italy claim he is unhappy in the Italian capital and wants to hear more offers.
The 'special' is also one of the main candidates to coach the Portugal national team after it parted ways with Fernando Santos after eight years.
