Reporter Han Bing reported that was eliminated by European teams for the 5th consecutive time, and Brazil's next cycle is about to begin. Who will take over the coach of Tite and continue to attack the sixth star on the Samba jersey? Brazil's "Global Sports" poll showed that Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola won more than 32% of the most popular votes. Of course, the vast majority of voters should also know that he has no chance of coaching the Brazilian team. This is just a way for fans to express their protest to the Brazilian Football Association.
The real possible candidates are two Portuguese coaches who have been successful in Brazil. The 43-year-old marshal Abel Ferreira got 26% of the votes, far ahead of his 68-year-old compatriot Jorge Jesus (10.5 %). Brazilian fans are completely disappointed by the continuous failure of 8 local coaches in the past 20 years, and can only hope for foreign coaches.
Ferreira played for Guimaraes, Braga and Sporting in the Portuguese Super League in his player days, and he knows European football very well. He started coaching Braga in 2017. In the summer of 2019, he was poached by the Greek powerhouse Thessaloniki PAOK who paid 2 million euros in liquidated damages. He led the team to break the monopoly of the top three in Athens and won the league runner-up. Extended to a staggering 51 games.
really made Ferreira famous in one fell swoop, which is the achievement after coaching Barcelona giants Palmeiras in November 2020. In just 3 months, he led the team to win the 2020 Copa Libertadores, becoming one of the two non-South American coaches who won the championship in the history of the event, and the other was Portugal who led Flamengo to the championship a year ago Old coach Jorge Jesus.
In March 2021, Ferreira became the first foreign coach to win the Brazil Cup and defeated Flamengo at the end of the year to defend the Copa Libertadores champion. Before the opening of the World Cup, Ferreira completed the 2022 Triple Crown: winning the South American Super Cup , Sao Paulo State and the Brazilian Championship, the scenery was the same for a while. In just two years, Ferreira has won 6 trophies, as well as 8 best coach titles in South America, Copa Libertadores, Brazil and Brazil. It is reasonable that he is highly sought after by fans.
Ferreira is young and cutting-edge, but Gabriel Jesus' advantage lies in his maturity and calmness. The 68-year-old Portuguese coach once coached Benfica and Sporting Lisbon, and coached Flamengo in the summer of 2019. In just one year, he won the Copa Libertadores, the Brazilian Cup, the South American Super Cup and the Rio State League 5. A trophy, the achievement is even higher than Ferreira. Moreover, he has coached the capital duo in the Portuguese Super League for a total of 9 seasons, won 12 championships, and 2 Europa League runners-up. He has a better understanding of the top European football than Ferreira. If the Brazilian team wants to break through the stumbling block of European teams, the two Portuguese coaches are good candidates, but it is not easy for them to get out. The popularity of
Ferreira and Jesus also reflects the downturn of Brazil's local coaches. The two Portuguese coaches have completely monopolized 's main honors in Brazilian and South American football in the past three years. If Brazilian football wants to be reborn, it may have to take the step of hiring European coaches. Portuguese coaches without language and cultural barriers are naturally the first choice. It's just that this is not a psychological difficulty for Brazil, which claims to be the football kingdom? Since 1914, Brazil's 95 coaches have only had three foreign teachers, and they have never achieved success. The most recent one dates back to the Argentine Nunez who led the team for a short time in 1965. But now, Brazilian football may have to put down its dignity and ask European coaches for advice.
