Brazil are set to launch an audacious bid to entice Pep Guardiola into becoming their new manager.
The Selecao are searching for a successor to Tite after the 61-year-old stepped down following their shock quarter-final exit at the World Cup. The tournament favourites were knocked out in dramatic fashion on Friday by underdogs Croatia, who won a tense penalty shootout to set up a semi-final clash with Lionel Messi 's Argentina.
For Brazil, however, they headed home over the weekend and waved goodbye to gaffer Tite, who'd been at the helm for more than six years. The Brazilian FA (CBF) have wasted no time in identifying their top target to replace him, as according to Sport, president Ednaldo Rodrigues will contact Guardiola less than a month after he signed a two-year contract extension with Manchester City.
