Brazil are in the hunt for a new manager.
Dunga has been sacked just days after Brazil’s surprise elimination from the Copa America Centenario at the group stages, the Brazilian Football Confederation confirmed tonight.
A shock defeat at the hands of Peru on Sunday night is ultimately what sealed Dunga’s fate.
Brazil only won one game in their Copa America group, against lowly Haiti, while a draw to Ecuador and the 1-0 defeat to Peru ensured that they would not progress to the knockout stages.
Dunga, 52, was appointed manager in 2014 after Luiz Felipe Scolari resigned following Brazil’s humiliation against Germany in the World Cup semi-final.
Dunga, a former Brazil captain who led the Canarinho to their 1994 World Cup success, also failed to deliver a Copa America last summer as Brazil were eliminated on penalties by Paraguay at the quarter-final stage.
And after being unable to get Brazil out of their group at the 2016 tournament, Dunga was relieved of his duties.
