Brazil manager Tite reminds Dani Alves of Manchester City's Pep Guardiola

Brazil right-back Daniel Alves says Selecao manager Tite reminds him of current Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola.

Since taking over the national team reins from Dunga, Tite -- who led Corinthians to Club World Cup, Copa Libertadores and league glory during his time with the Brazilian giants -- has helped Brazil rise from sixth to first in World Cup qualifying over his four games in charge.

The Brazilian boss has re-installed flowing, attacking football to the national side while emphasizing a high-pressing defence and collective spirit absent from Dunga's days, which has produced 12 goals and allowed just one under his watch.
