After a torrid Copa America Centenario run that saw Brazil exit the tournament at the very first hurdle, the board decided that it was time to let go of their manager Dunga.
With only one win in their three group games, Brazil were the Copa America’s first major casualty as they crashed out in the very first stage of the competition. Head-coach Dunga was rumoured to be sacked a week prior to the final judgement, but on Tuesday, it was made official by the Board.
This is how fans around the world reacted:
Dunga, who should never have been appointed in the first place, sacked as Brazil manager after Copa elimination (& everything else) #CA2016

@LFC_ABBASI @BrazilStats2 I am looking forward to Dunga getting sacked. Simply not fit to manage Brazil.

@BrazilStats2 Is Dunga getting sacked anytime soon? That’d be best for Coutinho.

Dunga sacked as coach of Brasil. Cagey and nervous in his style, he was the complete antithesis of what a Brasilian coach should be #brasil

Dunga suddenly a bad manager? Scolari was horrible but maybe truth is they’re not what they were; even b4 #GER 7-1 https://t.co/X2TyR9QLFr

tite is the new dunga?
— laun (@launcastro) June 14, 2016
There’s interest in Dunga from China. They believe that Dunga’s aggressive style can help players to be obedient and disciplined tactically.

Is Wilmots the European Dunga?
So much talent to mismanage.
— Srijandeep Das (@srijandeep) June 13, 2016
It’ll be a shame to see Dunga lose his job as Brazil manager in due course. But I’m heartened as we know he’ll be hired again in 2019.

And finally some statistics to remember his tenure at Brazil:
