Brazil Coach Tite Steps Down After Croatia Defeat

Tite has stepped down from his position as Brazil’s head coach following their shock exit from the World Cup.

Brazil was the favourite to go all the way in Qatar and put in several stunning displays along the way.

However, their journey came to an end dramatically as they fell to a 4-2 penalty shootout defeat to Croatia in the quarter-finals to send them home.

Neymar’s extra-time goal wasn’t enough as the European side equalised through Bruno Petkovic, and sent themselves into the World Cup semi-finals.

It gets worst as Tite confirmed his plans to step aside after six years in charge.

“A painful defeat, but I’m at peace with myself. It’s the end of my cycle.

“I already decided this over a year and a half ago. I’m not a two-faced guy. I wasn’t playing to win and then making drama to stay, anybody who knows me knows that.

“It was a whole process. Before, it was a recovery process, but now it had a whole sequel.”

Asked about his performance as Brazil’s manager, on the whole, Tite responded: “Only time will tell.

“The pain, however human, I may have… the emotions are high. I’m not in a position to evaluate all the work carried out. Over time, you will make this assessment, I don’t have that ability now after an elimination.”
