Brazil appoint former Corinthians boss Tite as new head coach

Brazil have formally unveiled Tite as their new coach.

The 55-year-old replaces Dunga at the helm of the national team off the back of a third stint in charge of Corinthians.

Dunga was dismissed by the Confederation of Brazilian Football after the Samba Boys failed to make it out of the group stage at the Copa America in the United States.

Tite has enjoyed success across his three spells with Corinthians, with a Campeonato Brasileiro title in 2015, a Copa Libertadores and Club World Cup glory in 2012 among his list of accomplishments.

His first match in charge will come in September when Brazil face Ecuador away in a World Cup qualifier.
