Ramon Diaz and Dunga will not speak prior to the Copa America quarterfinal involving their two teams, despite a close friendship.
Paraguay coach Ramon Diaz said he and close friend Dunga will not be on speaking terms when their respective sides face off in the Copa America quarterfinals on Saturday.
Diaz and Brazil coach Dunga both featured in Italy's Serie A in the late 1980s and also crossed paths in Japan in 1995, maintaining the relationship they developed as contemporaries in their playing days.
On Saturday, however, they will be trying to beat one another.
"It's not a friendship from now, but from a long time ago," Diaz said on Friday in Paraguay's pre-match news conference.
