The senior team coach will lead the Selecao into Rio 2016 in a bid to end Brazil's long wait for an elusive gold medal.
Five-time world champion, eight-time king of South America, there is one title that continues to elude Brazil: the Olympic gold.
The Selecao have come within touching distance of the crown on three occasions, but each time have seen their dreams end with silver.
In the 1984 games in Los Angeles, they were defeated 2-0 in the final by France. Four years later in Seoul, they went down 2-1 to the Soviet Union.
