Brazil’s Head Coach, Tite, has resigned as head coach of Selecao after their exit from the ongoing FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Tite announced his resignation after the five-time World Cup winners lost 4-2 via penalty shoot-out to Croatia.
While announcing his resignation, he said: “The cycle has ended, and I keep to my word.
“There are other great professionals that can replace me. When their (Croatia’s) goalkeeper (Dominik Livakovic) is the best player on the field, the game is talking to you.
“We had to be more effective in making goals. But did Brazil show their best? Overall, yes. I understand that I am the most responsible, but we are all responsible for the loss. It’s not about being a hero or a villain. There is no such thing in sports.
“Sometimes we have a great performance, we shoot at goal, and the ball deviates. That’s normal. But I can respect the result. The loss hurts, but I’m at peace with myself right now.”
Tite took Brazil to the World Cup on two occasions but his team was eliminated in the quarter-finals on both occasions.
