Neymar backs Tite for Brazil despite World Cup failure

Brazil superstar Neymar has come out in support of Selecao coach Tite and urged him to stay despite their disappointing World Cup.

Tite's side were one of the pre-tournament favourites in Russia, but Belgium eliminated them in the quarter-finals , securing a 2-1 win before eventually taking home the bronze medal.

Brazil just appeared to be hitting their stride when Roberto Martinez's men sent them packing in Kazan, with Neymar – who was roundly criticised for his behaviour on the pitch during the World Cup – seemingly close to his best in the last-16 defeat of Mexico.
