After the departure of Tite at the end of the 2022 World Cup, it seems that the Brazilian Football Confederation is turning to a foreign coach to lead the squad to Neymar.
Indeed, according to information reported by the press, the French Zinedine ZidaneItalian Carlo AncelottiPortuguese Abel Ferreira or Spaniard Luis Enrique All of them are in Al-Ittihad’s sights to train the Seleçao, who came out of the quarter-finals of the last World Cup. While the latter city now seems to have a head start, the former coach of Brazil, Luiz Felipe Scolari, has spoken out to discredit the record of the former coach of Spain and FC Barcelona.
According to the Italian-Brazilian, who led the Portuguese selection (2003-2008), Luis Enrique is not the ideal man, because his record is not impressive enough, unlike, for example, Jose Mourinho’s record: “What did Luis Enrique win? It must be effective. He is very good, but he lost everything. What does it mean that he is good? (José) Mourinho won everything for him.”
Having said that, Luis Felipe Scolari has clearly reviewed Luis Enrique’s record poorly. The 52-year-old Spaniard, who was defeated with the La Roja team in the round of 16 of the Qatar World Cup, was crowned with the European Champions League, the Spanish League, the European Super Cup, the Club World Cup and the Spanish Cup in 2015 with FC Barcelona. Before doing it again, regarding La Liga and the Spanish Cup, in 2016.
Scolari does not want a European
Luis Felipe Scolari then described the perfect picture, according to him, of Tite’s succession: “If I can coach other national teams (besides Brazil), why can’t they (the Europeans)? If they have quality, they should be our coach. What I think is that it would be easier to hire a South American than a European.”
However, former Chelsea coach Abel Ferreira has recently supported Portugal. The latter is currently coaching Palmeiras Club in Brazil.
