Oswaldo de Oliveira names his top Brazilian coach after controversy | OneFootball

After the controversial remarks about foreign coaches in Brazilian football, former coach Oswaldo de Oliveira revealed which Brazilian coach could replace Carlo Ancelotti in the future.

"Fernando Diniz. He is the best of them all. There's also Dorival Júnior, who is excellent. We have excellent coaches," said Oswaldo in an interview with Lance!.

Fernando Diniz and Dorival Júnior were precisely the two coaches who led the National Team before Carlo Ancelotti took over for the current cycle leading up to the 2026 World Cup.

Oswaldo also expressed irritation with the negative reaction to his comments. According to him, there was editing that did not take the context into account.

"I gave a 12-minute speech. The question was about the current situation of Brazilian coaches. I am an advocate for clubs and the Brazilian national team to have Brazilian coaches. When there was no other way, I said: if a foreigner has to come, let it be Ancelotti, who is the best of them all," he explained.
