BRAZIL want France legend Zinedine Zidane to replace Tite as manager after failing to lure Pep Guardiola from Manchester City, a report says.
Tite stepped back as Brazil manager after the pre-tournament World Cup favourites crashed out in the quarter-finals.
Croatia dragged Brazil to penalties after drawing 1-1 after extra-time, and the 2018 finalists held their nerve to run out 4-2 shootout winners.
And according to Ok Diario, Brazil will try and tempt three-time Champions League-winning manager Zidane into taking over.
Brazil tried and failed in negotiations with Man City boss Guardiola, who signed a new contract a short time ago, keeping him at the Etihad until the summer of 2025.
Zidane had hoped of managing France but World Cup 2018 winner Didier Deschamps has committed himself until after Euro 2024.
