Dopey is Brazil's New Manager

Dunga has been named the new manager of Brazil. (Dunga is the Portuguese name for "Dopey," of the seven dwarves.)

So apparently Germany and the Netherlands set the new trend with Klinsmann and Van Basten. Dunga has exactly no coaching experience, which is a negative, but he is not Paulo Autuori, which is a strong positive. So, all in all, Dunga is a good decision. As is always the case with Brazil, Dunga will have a deep talent pool to work with, and a year without a competitive match, so he can take the time to experiment. He was a hard-nosed player who was the antithesis of everything that Brazilian soccer is supposed to represent. Let's hope that he doesn't ask his team to play the way he did.
