Tite can lead Brazil to World Cup glory, says Neymar

Neymar believes Tite can lead Brazil to World Cup glory, describing the new national team coach as "one of the best I've ever worked with".

Tite was appointed in June as a replacement for Dunga, who was sacked following a disappointing performance at the Copa America Centenario.

The experienced coach has since guided the team to four wins in as many World Cup qualifying matches, placing Brazil top of the table, a point clear of closest challenger Uruguay.

Barcelona attacker Neymar has been impressed by Tite's impact and is optimistic about Brazil's chances of ending a 16-year wait for a World Cup win at Russia 2018.
