World Cup winner Romario has urged the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) to appoint Fluminense boss Fernando Diniz as the national team manager.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Brazil have been searching for a new head coach since the departure of Adenor Bacchi, better known as Tite, after last year's World Cup in Qatar, reports Xinhua.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"For me, Fernando Diniz is a perfect fit for the national team," Romario, who is now a politician, told the Cheguei podcast on Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"He has great intelligence and the issue of preparation is totally different in the national team, where he'll have more time. If given the opportunity, I'm absolutely sure he'll do a good job and set up a team that is much better tactically and more direct than in recent years."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Diniz, who has also had spells in charge of Vasco da Gama, Santos, Sao Paulo and Athletico Paranaense, among other clubs, has built a reputation as a talented motivator who favors a fluid possession-based game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 49-year-old is among a long list of names linked with the vacant Brazil job. Others include Carlo Ancelotti, Jose Mourinho, Abel Ferreira, Jorge Jesus and Dorival Junior.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
