Brazil confirm Dunga appointment

Former Brazil international Dunga is appointed the head coach of the national side for a second time.

Dunga has been named the new head coach of the Brazilian national side.

The 50-year-old has replaced Luiz Felipe Scolari, who left the position in the wake of the nation's exit from this summer's World Cup.

It was reported that Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini had been offered the post shortly after Scolari's departure. However, following the Chilean's rejection, Dunga, who was capped 91 times by Brazil, was made the frontrunner for the job.

The 1994 World Cup-winning captain has now been confirmed as Scolari's successor and so will take charge of the Selecao for a second time, having spent four years at the helm between 2006 and 2010.
