• Tite had been in charge of Brazil since 2016 and led them to Copa America success.
• He resigned after their shock exit to Croatia in World Cup quarter-finals.
• Tite says, There are other great professionals that can replace me.

Former Brazil manager Adenor Leonardo Bacchi commonly known as Tite was allegedly robbed in a Rio street and yelled at by the robber after his nation was eliminated from the World Cup.

Tite, who had been in command of the Brazil team since 2016 and had even guided them to Copa America victory three years prior, quit after their shocking quarterfinal World Cup loss to Croatia.

After their loss in Qatar, Brazil, one of the favourites to win the tournament, had returned home.

The Brazil squad under his leadership won the 2019 Copa America and placed second the following year. However, they lost to Belgium or Croatia in the quarterfinals of the World Cups of 2018 and 2022, respectively.

“The cycle ended and I said that one-and-a-half years ago and I keep to my word. We cannot make a drama. There are other great professionals that can replace me. The cycle is over.”

Brazil is currently searching for a replacement for Tite, and after Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti passed them by, they are reportedly targeting Jose Mourinho, the manager of Roma.
