Brazil have named former player Dunga as their new coach for the second time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Dunga was the captain of Brazil’s 1994 World Cup-winning team and coached the national team from 2006 to 2011.<\/p>\n
“I am immensely happy to be back,” said the 50-year-old, who was the favourite to land the job.<\/p>\n
Dunga replaces Luiz Felipe Scolari, who resigned after Brazil reached the semi-finals of the 2014 World Cup, but suffered the joint-heaviest in their history, losing\u00a07-1 to Germany.<\/p>\n
Dunga was in charge at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa when Brazil were knocked out in the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n
Scolari, who guided Brazil to World Cup victory in 2002, and his entire backroom staff have all\u00a0left their posts\u00a0since the tournament finished.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella, 59, will decide his future next week after his side\u00a0lost 1-0 to Germany\u00a0in the World Cup final.<\/p>\n
Members of the squad have said they want Sabella to remain in charge for the 2015 Copa America in Chile.<\/p>\n
“It’s down to whether I feel strong enough to give 100%,” said Sabella.<\/p>\n
