The Selecao boss will step aside after his side's penalty heartache against Croatia, as the five-time champions exited the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 at the quarter-final stage.

Tite, who had been in charge since 2016 after replacing Dunga, had said in February it was always his intention to stand down after this tournament.

He said: "As I said, my cycle is over. I said it over a year and a half ago. I keep to my word. We shouldn't make a drama out of it as I said this one and half years ago. There are other great professionals that can replace me. There could be elements to analyse but the cycle is over."
