The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has dismissed head coach Dorival Júnior after Brazil’s humiliating 4-1 loss to Argentina at the Estadio Monumental. This decision follows a string of poor performances, including a previous defeat to Argentina under former coach Fernando Diniz, who was also sacked.
Brazil’s lackluster showing against Argentina, compounded by Raphinha’s pre-match boast of a “thrashing,” sparked significant social media backlash. The CBF, in an official statement, expressed gratitude to Dorival and announced the immediate commencement of a search for his replacement. The incoming coach will be tasked with revitalizing the national team’s performance and restoring their global standing in the lead-up to the 2026 World Cup.
