CBF president Ednaldo Rodrigues denied contact with Guardiola, but left open the possibility of a foreign coach for the Brazilian team.
This Tuesday, the 19th, the president of the CBF, Ednaldo Rodrigues gave an interview where he denied speculations that he would have made any kind of contact so that Pep Guardiola assume the Brazilian national team after the departure of the coach Tite. The news was published two weeks ago by the Spanish newspaper ‘Marca’ and had a lot of repercussion in Brazil.
“We recognize Guardiola as a winner, a person who doesn’t need any kind of introduction. But there was no situation on the part of the CBF, the president, nor did I authorize anyone to speak on my part, any situation of looking for Guardiola to be the coach of the national team. At no time did this happen. I followed the reports, but it didn’t come from the CBF, the president or anyone else”said Ednaldo.

The coach of the Canarinho team has already made it clear that he will step down after the Qatar World Cup, but there is still no likely replacement. The CBF representative, however, did not rule out the possibility of a foreign coach taking charge of the Brazilian team:
“We don’t have the commitment to say it has to be Brazilian, but we also don’t have the same commitment that it has to be a foreigner. When the time is right, we’ll take care of the matter.”deflected.

Faced with so many possibilities, he himself spoke about the subject during a press conference given this Friday, 8.
“Not today… I’m under contract here, I’m very happy. I’m willing to stay here forever. I would renew the contract for ten years, but now is not the time. I don’t know where it came from”said the coach, ending the expectations of the Brazilians who were waiting for him in charge of the selection, but going against the opinion of others.
