Mano Menezes was not very favorable to the choice of the CBF to appoint an interim coach until 2024 and showed concern for the Brazilian national team
Mano Menezes didn’t like the idea very much Brazilian Team have an interim coach by mid-2024. The Internacional coach confessed that he was surprised by the CBF with the decision to put someone who will not be responsible for building a team until 2026 World Cup. In the view of the commander from Rio Grande do Sul, such an important position cannot be left indefinitely.
In an interview with “ESPN”, Mano Menezes, who led the Brazilian national team between the 2010 and 2012 seasons, made it clear that he thinks it’s “risky” to put an interim in charge of a team that has great importance for world football. In the understanding of the Internacional coach, the CBF would need to define a name and start working with him from the 2023 season.
“Although I have a long journey and I am hardly surprised by many things, I confess that they (CBF) surprised me this time. I think this is very risky. Mixing things up, not defining them, leaving them open, is a dangerous path in football. Even more at the high level of the Brazilian team. So I can’t really understand what they’re thinking and how exactly this is going to work“, he stated.
It is important to remember that this criticism by Mano Menezes is related to the coach taking over the Brazilian national team and sharing responsibility with another club. This was the attitude that most surprised the commander of Internacional. According to the technician, it is difficult to understand how this relay mechanism between Fernando Diniz and Fluminense and also with Brazil will work.
Mano Menezes will even be the first coach to face the Flu coach as coach of the Brazilian national team. That’s because, this Sunday, the 9th, Internacional will face Fluminense in the Brazilian Championship. The two teams will meet at Maracanã and the ball will roll for both from 4 pm (Brasília time).
