Brazil's interim coach Fernando Diniz was fired on Friday by the country's soccer federation (CBF), sources told ESPN Brasil.
The decision was taken one day after the president of the CBF, Ednaldo Rodrigues, returned to his role following a decision from Brazil's Supreme Court. Rodrigues and all his executives had been removed from their jobs on Dec. 7 after a Rio de Janeiro court ruling on irregularities in the 2022 election process.
