Various managers came and went for the Selecao over the last few years but none were able to deliver the goods. The 58-year-old, however, came in and revolutionized the squad. He brought in Casemiro to provide stability and protection to his defense after his amazing performances for Real Madrid and he has been a constant in the squad ever since.
The faith he has put in the youngsters has been one of the key factors in his success. Arthur, Jesus, Everton, Eder Militao, Lucas Paqueta and Richarlison have all repaid his faith. The Brazilian boss's rotation policy kept them fresh till the very end of the tournament and that is also one strategy that worked perfectly for him. He assembled a squad which had the perfect blend of experienced players and young blood.
The trust he put in his players even after failing in some games has finally paid off as all the players have come good at the right time. Tite built a perfectly-balanced squad which had the right balance of attack, defense and stability that helped him cope with Neymar's absence.
