The 59-year-old's appointment follows the sacking of Vadao, who oversaw a disappointing last 16 exit at this summer's World Cup
Former USWNT boss Pia Sundhage has been revealed as the new head coach of Brazil.
The 59-year-old left her role as her native Sweden’s head coach back in 2017, following the Blagult’s quarter-final exit at the 2017 Euros.
She stayed in a role with the Swedish FA, leading their under-17 women’s side, before today accepting the position as Brazil’s new coach.
