Brazil’s national team coach, Tite, has stepped down as manager of the team after leading the Selecao to a dismal bismal showing at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The Selecao, who were tipped to be favorites in the tournament, crashed out on Friday after losing 2-4 to Croatia on penalties in the quarter-final.
Brazil fans were in tears after a another disappointed showing at the tournament.
Tite, announced his departure from the team shortly after the loss to Croatia, according to PMNews.
The only major trophy Tite won as Brazil’s manager since taking over in 2016 was in 2019, when he led Brazil to the Copa América on home soil — Brazil’s ninth Copa America title and first in 12 years.
Tite’s current contract, signed in July 2018, kept him with Brazil until the end of the 2022 World Cup.
