Casting Call: Tite and staff to watch potential future Brazil stars

Having signed a contract extension that will see him lead Brazil into World Cup 2022, coach Tite this week begins finalising his first squad of the new cycle as he and his staff begin observing potential new call-ups.

The Selecao kick off a new era on September 7 as the Brasil Global Tour resumes with a clash against USA in New Jersey.

And it is quite possible that a number of new faces could be on show as Tite begins to look toward the future.

On Wednesday, Tite himself went to see his former side Gremio take on Flamengo in the quarter-final of the Copa do Brasil, where two forwards on show would have caught the eye.
