Tite has conquered South America. Refreshed and recharged, Brazil's World Cup manager is eyeing his next mission: Europe. Or, who knows, maybe England.
'If there's a good professional opportunity, why not?,' he responds when asked whether a Premier League job appeals to him. 'I want a new challenge, one in Europe would be very interesting to me.'
