Brazil coach Tite has admitted he has been surprised at how quickly he has been able to transform the team.

Since replacing Dunga in June, Tite has led the Selecao to six consecutive victories on the road to Russia 2018 – his first half-dozen matches in charge bringing Brazil’s best run in qualifying since the great side that went on to win the World Cup 1970.

And the Former Corinthians boss reveals the performances and the results have exceeded all expectations he had for his first six months in the job.

"I thought it would be more complicated, with less [positive] results," Tite told Reuters.
