#4 Previous favourite?

The 2014 World Cup proved to be a very disastrous one for Brazil. After the humiliating 7-1 defeat at the hands of the Germans, the whole country was in shock. Quite understandably, the then national team manager Luiz Felipe Scolari was subsequently sacked.

Following their usual tradition, Brazillian names were looked upon to replace him but as Tite was on a sabbatical at that moment of time, he was rumoured to be the front-runner for the job and there were scores of media houses predicting him as the favourite to take over.

At least one poll even showed him to be the fans’ favourite for the job as well. Shockingly, the Brazillian job was offered to an ex-manager, Dunga and he accepted it.
