Dunga's second spell in charge of Brazil was an unmitigated failure, but new coach Tite is the right appointment to restore their pride.
Brazil remains in disarray. The infamous 'Mineirazo' – a 7-1 thrashing at the hands of Germany in the 2014 World Cup on home soil – and two premature Copa America exits have severely damaged the five-time World Cup winners' confidence.
Having retaken the command of the Selecao at one of their lowest points in recent history, Dunga fell way short in his mission to re-establish the world-beating vision of the national team.
His second spell at the helm got off to a positive start with 11 successive victories, but a quarterfinal exit to Paraguay at Copa America 2015 quickly saw the mood change.
