The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) is looking for a coach to take over the national team. Although the favorite for the position is Jorge Jesus, formerly of Flamengo, some team leaders prefer the return of the well-known Tite . According to information from journalist Jorge Nicola's blog on Portal R7, the subject has been discussed among important and more experienced players since last Wednesday (26), right after the 4-1 defeat to Argentina in Buenos Aires.
One of the defenders of Tite staying is Neymar , who has publicly highlighted the current coach as the best he has worked with in his entire career. The support of the star player for the coach, who is without a club after leaving Flamengo , may be related to his history of disagreements with Jorge Jesus, who is currently seen as plan B by the CBF.
Tite's return to the national team is a complicated task
Negotiating Tite's return to the national team would be one of the most complex tasks. His departure from the team in 2022 was marked by friction with the CBF's top brass , and the fact that he announced his departure through the press at the end of the 2022 World Cup damaged his image as a coach. In addition, Tite is not well regarded by some fans , especially after being eliminated in the quarterfinals of two consecutive World Cups, which compromised his trajectory in the Qualifiers.
Solid defense was Tite's trump card
It is important to remember that under Tite, the Brazilian national team conceded only 30 goals in 81 matches . Since his departure from the CBF, Brazil has conceded 31 goals , although in only 25 games. Ramon Menezes , Fernando Diniz and Dorival Júnior have taken turns in charge, but with negative results.
Tite's situation and possible replacements
Tite has been without a club since September 30, when Flamengo announced his dismissal. For almost six months, he has rejected at least seven offers from major Brazilian clubs, claiming that he was waiting for an opportunity in Europe in the middle of the year.
The CBF's current favorite to take over the national team is Jorge Jesus. Despite his long-standing desire to have Carlo Ancelotti , the Italian has already guaranteed that he will not leave Real Madrid . The former Flamengo coach has already expressed his willingness to cover the termination fee with Al Hilal and leave the club before the end of his contract, which is scheduled for June.
Despite experiencing a good collective phase with leadership in the Brasileirão and a place in the quarterfinals of the Libertadores, Mais Querido appears as the most cited club in the survey

According to a survey released by the Transfermarkt platform, Flamengo boasts four of the ten players who have lost the most market value in Brazil. The analysis takes into account each player's individual performance throughout the season and identifies the Rio de Janeiro club as the leader in the rankings.
Among the names mentioned are midfielder Nicolás De la Cruz and striker Pedro, who appear at the top of the list . Both have faced periods of instability and physical problems, determining factors in the drop in projected values.
Signed with high expectations, De la Cruz suffered from injuries and was unable to continue his strong start to his career at the club . His lack of rhythm directly impacted his market value, resulting in a drop of approximately €6 million compared to his previous value.
One of the most consistent scorers in Brazilian football in recent years, Pedro lost his place at the beginning of the season due to injuries and was even dropped from the squad following internal problems. Despite regaining prominence recently, his market value has dropped by around €2 million.
Left-back Viña also makes the rankings. Having only recovered from injury in the second half of the year, he competes for position with Alex Sandro and Ayrton Lucas, a factor that has contributed to his lack of performance. Michael , who also struggled with physical problems, became one of coach Filipe Luís's last attacking options, which explains his drop in rating.

Flamengo reported that Guillermo Varela, right-back for the Uruguayan national team, was released after Uruguay qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup . The player presented with pubalgia and will be re-evaluated by the Flamengo medical department.
According to the official statement, Dr. Fernando Sassaki, the club's doctor, maintained constant contact with the Uruguayan Football Association's medical team to monitor the athlete's situation.
In addition to Varela, midfielder Giorgian De Arrascaeta also returns to the squad. Despite not presenting any medical problems, the player was rested for Uruguay's second match on this FIFA World Cup . The club expressed its gratitude for the cooperation between the medical departments of both the Celeste and Rubro-Negro teams.
The break in national championships between September 1st and 10th is due to the FIFA Date , intended for the Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. There was an expectation that the elimination in the Copa do Brasil against Atlético-MG would create a longer interval between commitments, but the changes promoted by the CBF reduced the space in Mengão's schedule.
Flamengo returns to the field next Sunday (14), at 4 pm (Brasília time), against Juventude, at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. The club seeks to end a long fast in Caxias do Sul , since the last victory there occurred on October 1, 1997, when they won 1-0 after an own goal by Rodrigo Costa.
Mengão fans are mobilizing to fill the Maracanã stadium for the first leg of the quarterfinals against Estudiantes; the stadium is expected to sell out before the general sale.
