Brazil manager Dorival Junior is under immense pressure following the humiliating 4–1 defeat to Argentina, and his dismissal now seems increasingly likely. Already criticized for inconsistent results, the latest loss could be the final straw.
According to the Brazilian press, several candidates are being considered to replace him:
- Jorge Jesus (Al-Hilal): A popular choice within the federation, thanks to his experience and recent success in Saudi Arabia.
- Filipe Luís (Flamengo): The former Atlético Madrid left-back is making waves as a young coach and is highly regarded.
- Abel Ferreira (Palmeiras): A consistent performer in Brazilian football, known for his tactical acumen.
- Renato Gaúcho (formerly Grêmio): A seasoned name with prior national team links.
And of course, Carlo Ancelotti remains the dream pick — even if the Real Madrid boss seems focused on club duties for now.
With the 2026 World Cup approaching fast, big changes could be coming for the Seleção.
