Brazil have named former player Dunga as their new coach for the second time. Dunga was the captain of Brazil's 1994 World Cup-winning team and he also coached the national team from 2006 to 2010. "I am immensely happy to be back," said the 50-year-old coach.
Dunga replaces Luiz Felipe Scolari, who resigned after Brazil reached the semi-finals of the 2014 World Cup, but suffered one of the most shameful defeats in their history, losing 7-1 to Germany. Dunga was in charge at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa when Brazil were knocked out in the quarter-finals.
Scolari, who guided Brazil to World Cup victory in 2002, and his entire backroom staff have all left after the 2014 tournament finished. Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella, 59, will decide his future next week after his side lost 1-0 to Germany in the World Cup final. Members of the squad have said they want Sabella to remain in charge for the 2015 Copa America in Chile.
Argentina are 9/4 to win at 2015 Copa America at Betway while Brazil are 3/1 to clinch the trophy next year.

For their sake lets hope he did as good as he did before, and better than Scolari did LOL. Brazil where just an illusion of a good time in the world cup
