Following the shocking exit of Brazil from the World cup, the coach Dunga has been sacked from his post.

The coach had hinted that he wanted to leave the post after the quarter finals against the Dutch, which they lost.

The official website of the CBF (Brazilian Football Federation) read thus, “Ending the cycle of work that began in August 2006, and ended with the elimination of Brazil from the World Cup in South Africa, the CBF announces that the technical committee of the national team has been released,” the statement on the CBF’s official website read.
“The new technical committee will be announced later this month.”

After starting the tournament very well with good wins over North Korea and Ivory coast and then a draw against Portugal in the group stage, they beat Chile comfortably in the round of 16 with a 3-0 win.

In the match against Netherlands they missed quite a few good chances after the early goal in the 10th min by Robinho before a defensive mistake which led to the equalizer by sneijder which later on turned to be a nightmare when the Dutch scored again to win.
Dunga coached the team for the past four years after which his agreement ends.

He said “I have been contracted for four years and we knew this right from the start. During the last four years, I have been very happy to coach this Brazil team and if you were to look at our players’ faces now, you would probably understand how they feel.”
