Brazil confederation confirms Tite as coach
Brazil's football confederation (CBF) confirmed on Twitter on Monday the appointment of Tite as the new national team coach.
The news was first revealed by his former club Corinthians on Wednesday of last week.
"Tite is the new coach of Brazil," said a simple statement on the CBF Twitter account ahead of a press conference to introduce the 55-year-old.
Corinthians president Roberto de Andrade had broken the news last Wednesday, saying: "Tite no longer works at Corinthians. He accepted the invitation from the CBF."
Tite succeeds Dunga, who was sacked following Brazil's dismal group stage elimination from the ongoing Copa America Cenetnario in the United States.
That came just two years after their humiliating 7-1 defeat to Germany in the World Cup on home soil.
Tite will take over after the Rio Olympics, where the Selecao will be coached by Micale, the current under-20s national team boss.
Tite -- whose real name is Adenor Leonardo Bacchi -- had been widely touted as the successor to Dunga after the CBF sacked him and his entire staff on Tuesday last week.
Tite has coached a string of top clubs in Brazil, including Gremio, Atletico Mineiro and Palmeiras, as well as Al Ain and Al Wahda in the United Arab Emirates.
He has spent three trophy-studded stints at Corinthians, leading the Sao Paulo club to two Brazilian league titles, in 2011 and 2015, and the Copa Sudamericana in 2013.
In 2012, he coached them to a double of the regional Copa Libertadores and Club World Cup.
