Brazil boss Tite slams rumours linking him to a job at Arsenal as 'fake news' as he apologises to the north London club and insists he has 'great respect for the Brazilian team' ahead of the World Cup in Qatar

Brazil boss Tite has shut down rumours linking him to a job at Arsenal as he revealed he was saddened by the 'fake news'.

Reports in Brazil last week claimed Tite had already spoken to Arsenal technical director Edu about a move to north London after the World Cup in Qatar, when he plans to step down from his role in charge of Brazil.

The two Brazilians worked closely together at Corinthians and Tite employed Edu as the national team's general co-ordinator for three years from 2016.
