Tite resigned from his position as coach of the Selecao following their 2022 FIFA World Cup quarterfinal exit. After a 1-1 draw in extra time, Tite’s team lost to Croatia 4-2 in the penalty shootout.
The position has been linked to a number of high-ranking managers, including former Los Blancos coach Zinedine Zidane and Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti. Notwithstanding, the furthest down the line name to be on the edge of turning into Tite’s replacement is Enrique, per Fichajes.
Enrique is thought to be the ideal candidate to succeed Tite by the Brazilian football confederation, according to reports.
Similar to Tite’s departure from Selecao, the former Barcelona manager has just stepped down from his position as manager of Spain. In the FIFA World Cup’s last 16 against Morocco, La Roja suffered a demoralizing loss on penalties of 3-0.
It’s possible that the first contact between the two sides will be made soon. Despite Enrique’s hints that he is more open to continuing his management career in club football than international football, this is the case.
The Spaniard was a gigantic accomplishment with Barcelona, winning the UEFA Champions Association once, and the La Liga and Copa del Rey multiple times in three seasons.
Neymar, a forward for PSG, worked with Enrique at Camp Nou. In 145 games, the Brazilian scored 90 goals and had 68 assists. He left Barcelona in 2017 and was named manager of Spain in 2018, where he oversaw a team transformation.
La Roja now has a young, hungry group of players who were expected to be one of the best teams at the World Cup but fell apart under pressure. Enrique oversaw 25 successes 11 draws and nine losses during his long-term residency responsible for the Spanish public group.
Barcelona may consider Raphinha’s departure if performances do not improve
Raphina joined Barcelona from Leeds United in the summer for €58 million after lighting up the Premier League at Elland Road. If performances do not improve, Barcelona may consider Raphinha leaving.
He participated in 67 competitions, netting 12 assists and scoring 17 goals. However, Rafinha has only scored two goals and provided four assists in 18 games since his arrival at Camp Nou.
Sport reports that the giants of La Liga will evaluate Raphinha’s situation at the conclusion of the season.
He seems to have asked Blaugrana manager Xavi to play him only on the ring wing, but Ousmane Dembele is in charge of that position. The Brazil international could be packing his bags just one year after arriving in Catalonia if circumstances do not improve.
