#5 Across enemy lines
Tite has spent most of his successful managerial career in Brazil. In his long career, he has worked with the likes of Caxias, Gremio, Internacional, Corinthians and Palmeiras. In fact, he has often worked with clubs that aren’t really amicable with each other.
For instance, he’s worked for both Corinthians and Palmeiras. The match between the two is of great significance locally and has often been ranked as one of the best derbies in the world. He also jumped ship on his local club Caxias, when he was asked to take charge of a club nearby, in Gremio.
Although being close, these two clubs are not totally hostile towards each other but his move a few years later to Gremio’s bitter rivals, Internacional, did not go down well with both sets of fans. In particular, the Internacional fans made their resentment very hostile and his appointment was a very tricky one at that time.
Thankfully, that ship has sailed and once again, he is pretty much the favourite to take the glorious nation forward in the trickiest of times.
