Brazil name Tite as new coach,after sacking Dunga Wednesday June 15,2016

Corinthians boss Tite was named as the new coach of Brazil on Wednesday June 15,2016, succeeding Dunga, who was sacked after the team`s humiliating exit from the 2016 Copa America Centenario in USA

Tite -- whose real name is Adenor Leonardo Bacchi -- had been widely touted as his successor after the CBF sacked Dunga and his entire staff on Tuesday, and Corinthians president Roberto de Andrade confirmed the move.

"Tite no longer works at Corinthians. He accepted the CBF`s invitation," he said

Tite(55)has coached a string of top clubs in Brazil, including Gremio, Atletico Mineiro and Palmeiras, as well as Al Ain and Al Wahda in the United Arab Emirates.

Tite has spent three trophy-studded stints at Corinthians, leading the Sao Paulo club to two Brazilian league titles, in 2011 and 2015, and the Copa Sudamericana in 2013.

In 2012, Tite coached them to a double championship of the regional Copa Libertadores and Club World Cup
