Official: Brazilian Football Federation releases Dunga following disappointing World Cup exit
Quarter-final loss sees boss step down
By Jamie Dunn
Dunga had stated his intention to leave his post following the 2-1 defeat at the hands of the Netherlands on Friday.
An official statement from the CBS has now confirmed the former midfielder's departure from the role.
"After the working cycle that started in August 2006, and ended with the elimination of Brazil from the World Cup in South Africa, has come to an end, the CBF announces that the technical committee of the national squad has been released," the statement on the CBF official website read.
"The new technical committee will be announced by the end of July."
Former Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari and Leonardo, who was in charge at Milan last season, are rumoured to be early candidates for the position.
No trip to South Africa is complete without a visit to its most beautiful and sunniest city. Durban offers much more than sandy beaches, safaris, casinos and the World Cup, for information on what to do and see, please click here
