Brazil's coaches way behind Argentina, but Tite flies the flag

Brazil coach Tite has made the perfect to start to life leading the Selecao, picking up four straight victories in his four tests so far.

But next up comes his biggest challenge with Brazil to date, as Argentina comes to town for the Superclasico.

As well as marking Brazil’s first return to the Mineirao stadium since the infamous 7-1 defeat to Germany at World Cup 2014, it will be Tite’s first taste of South America’s biggest international fixture.

And it will also be the first taste of the fixture for new Argentina coach Edgardo Bauza, who has had to endure a considerably rockier start to life as an international coach than the man in the opposite dugout next month.
