His departure from Sao Paulo was announced by the club on X, formerly known as Twitter, but the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) is yet to confirm his appointment. He led Flamengo to the Copa Libertadores title and the Brazilian Cup in 2022 before joining Sao Paulo, whom he guided to their first Brazilian Cup last year. Dorival, a defensive midfielder in his playing days, added that the move "was only possible because I received recognition for the work carried out in Sao Paulo". Sao Paulo president Julio Casares said their coach being chosen to lead the Brazil national team showed the club is being run impressively.
