Yeah, he'll be 67 by then and I can imagine managing Brazil at WC being his last tournament as manager before retiring. Of course if it goes well by then and they do well at Copa America.
That's pretty rough for them. Do they have anybody else lined up seeing as Diniz has pretty much been shitting the bed with the national team?
I feel like Zidane would be the coolest of appointments for them.
No, that's the scariest part. They put all their chips on him. Thankfully, there are no more qualifiers until September I think, so plenty of time to come up with a plan B. There is Copa América in the summer but that's a write-off at this point.
Zidane is cool but Carlo is cooler.
Such a bad look for them really. Do you think they'll go into Copa with Diniz?
Probably. I don't think it'll work though. Even if his style of play could theoretically work outside the Brazilian league, the national team simply doesn't train together long enough to drill his unique tactical setup into the players.
There probably the worse team he’s got on his CV.Tweet

He’s hard to dislike even when his team beats your team.
I’m annoyed we never gave him a shot.Still can’t believe he managed Everton. And then went straight back to Madrid from there
He's wonderful. I'm glad he never went to any of our rivals, because he's pretty much impossible to hate. I'm very sad he never managed us.
Tbf he did beat us to the league with our number 1 rival at the time.
I actually had totally forgotten that and it took me a few seconds to get what you were speaking of! They've had so many managers, they just merge into one faceless entity. But yeah even for that one, I can't begrudge him!
He's seen it all, he's won the lot
Looks almost upset
"Damn it, I told them I was happy with 2-2!"got Chelsea playing the best football of any manager in their Roman era
I will never understand why Chelsea sacked him. Gotta be one of the stupidest manager sackings?
Agree. I really liked that Chelsea side (their football) even though they beat us for the title in his 1st season there. Can't really say Chelsea played great football under other managers despite winning so many trophies.
Was entirely forgettable for us. Rich man's Kovac going by his Bayern stint.
He was only there 18 months and finished tenth in his one full season, doesn’t show that at all. Seems like you’re trying to say Arteta is better without saying it
Yeah Abramovich was pretty brutal with managers. Worked for them at the time I suppose.
I feel Pep is almost the opposite of what you need in international football. I'm sure he would do okay because he's an incredible manager but I feel to get the best out of him he needs huge amounts of time to get across his extremely detailed tactical ideas.
His first season was good, in 2017 he had you competing (genuinely competing) with a record-braking Real Madrid side on that UCL tie. Unlucky to lose the first leg with Vidal missing a penalty and Martinez getting a red card… He still made it competitive in the second leg (this time Vidal got the red card) and you took it to extra-time… Under Guardiola you weren’t close to extra-time, you were getting trashed 4-0 and 3-0 when you met Real/Barça…. I believe that tie and the one with Heynckes in 2018 changed the dynamic…
No. He is one of my favourite managers, maybe my favourite after Sir Alex actually. The man is just the perfect mix of cool and dignified.
