Dorival Junior was sacked as Brazil coach on Friday, three days after a humiliating 4-1 World Cup Qualifying defeat by bitter rivals Argentina.
“Dorival Junior is no longer in charge of the Brazilian national team. The management thanks him and wishes him success for the rest of his career,” the Confederation of Brazilian Football (CBF) said in a statement.
