SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil’s soccer confederation has fired coach Dorival Júnior after 14 months amid poor results and disappointing performances from the national team.
Júnior’s sacking on Friday came three days after a 4-1 defeat at Argentina, Brazil’s worst defeat in a World Cup qualifier.
His replacement has yet to be picked.
Brazil is fifth in South American qualifying for the 2026 World Cup. The top six qualify automatically.
