Tite Resigns After Brazil's Defeat To Croatia
Brazil head coach Tite has left his role after their shock World Cup quarter-final exit at the hands of Croatia, Sky Sports reported.
Croatia defeated the five-time world champions 4-2 in the penalty shootout win at the Education City Stadium after the game ended in a 1-1 draw.
Croatia, who needed two shootouts and an extra-time win to reach the final in 2018, kept their composure as Brazilβs Marquinhos and Rodrygo failed to convert, while Nikola Vlasic, Lovro Majer, Luka Modric and Mislav Orsic completed a perfect set of spot-kicks.
The European nation booked a place in the World Cup semi-finals as the hot tournament favourites crashed out. Manager Zlatko Dalic said afterwards:
We eliminated the biggest favourites.
Tite, who had been in charge since 2016 after replacing Dunga, had said in February it was always his intention to stand down after this tournament.Β
