Defiant Brazil manager Dunga brushed off suggestions that early elimination from the Copa America would cost him his job on Sunday, telling reporters that he feared “only death” and not unemployment. Peru’s goalkeeper Pedro Gallese makes a save in front of Brazil's Elias (8) during the second half of a Copa America Group B match. “I am only afraid of death, I am not afraid of that,” he said when asked if he feared losing his job after Brazil’s early exit from the centenary Copa America being hosted by the United States. “The president knows what we are doing, how we are working, we know about the pressure, and we know that the job comes with criticism,” Dunga told reporters after the game in Boston. He has also failed to make many friends with his combative approach and the knives are being sharpened after the eight-times Copa America champions failed to make the second round for the first time in 29 years.
