The Brazilian national team is going through its most difficult moment in years. Tite resigned to his post as manager after the elimination in the last World Cup, and the Seleção has been without a manager since then. Even though Qatar 2022 is already many months behind us, Brazil still has Ramon Menezes as interim coach.
In the meantime, the Canarinha has already suffered two unexpected losses against Morocco and Senegal. Fortunately, not everything is bad news for the five-time world champions, as the latest update to the FIFA ranking continues to see them in third place, behind Argentina and France.
