Tite: Brazil reached the World Cup – now it’s time to be champions
Brazil’s manager Tite speaking with The Guardian discussed the future World Cup in Qatar:
- I’m expectant but focused. We reached the World Cup; now it’s time to reach the final and be champions. This is the truth. At the last World Cup I was the manager because of other circumstances [Dunga was fired in 2016 and Tite took over].
Now I have had the opportunity to do the full four-year cycle. Expectations are high but the focus is on work.
If you win the World Cup you get an open market. You can choose. I will not lie: my idea is definitely not to work in Brazil. I want to spend a year with my family, to take a sabbatical year, to study, to not have any responsibility because the responsibility is too great. If something comes from the outside, it will happen. Now I have the responsibility and joy of being the coach of the Seleção. I’m not even going to talk to anyone.
