Brazilian coach resigns

"My cycle is over and another talented coach can take my place," Tite told a post-match press conference at Education City. "Brazil has a great generation of young players and they know how to find strength in adversity. I'm not a hypocrite, and I respect the result. I know I have the greatest responsibility, but There are no heroes or villains. This is just football. We share our joys and sorrows."

Draw after 90 minutes, Brazil took the lead Croatia in the last minute of extra time with Neymar's goal. But Croatia equalized at the end of extra time with a deflected shot from striker Bruno Petkovic. In the penalty shootout, Rodrygo and Marquinhos failed, causing Brazil to lose 2-4 and stop in the quarterfinals.

When asked how he evaluates his six-year tenure in charge of Brazil, Tite said: "Time will answer that question. I cannot judge right now, after a failure like that. The media can do it. that, and I don't."

Tite's full name is Adenor Leonardo Bacchi, used to be a midfielder and played from 1975-1990. After nearly 30 years of leading clubs in Brazil, Tite was appointed to coach this team in June 2016 to replace Carlos Dunga. In both World Cups under Tite, Brazil stopped in the quarterfinals. He helped Brazil win the 2019 Copa America, but lost to Argentina in the final in 2021. His win rate over 81 matches for Brazil reached 74.07%.

Although not winning the 2022 World Cup, Brazil is not worried about equaling the title record at the tournament. Italy and Germany have four titles, but one team did not qualify, the other stopped in the group stage.
