Tite is the new head coach of Botafogo. At 65, the coach begins another stint in Brazilian football with a résumé that includes spells at major clubs, the Brazil national team, and experience abroad. His contract with the Rio de Janeiro club runs through December 2028.
Throughout his career, Adenor Leonardo Bachi has posted impressive numbers, especially with Corinthians, Internacional, Flamengo, and the Brazil national team. His record also helps illustrate the coach’s path before the start of his new job at Botafogo.
At Corinthians, Tite led the team in 378 matches, with 196 wins, 110 draws, and 72 losses. His win rate was 61.55%, according to the figures presented by the São Paulo club’s technical department in its review of his career.
In 2011, he won the Brazilian Championship. The following year, he guided Corinthians to the Copa Libertadores and the Club World Cup titles. In 2013, he also won the Paulista Championship and the Recopa Sudamericana. In 2015, he won the Brazilian Championship again.
Internacional also holds an important place in Tite’s career. The coach, for example, led the club in 109 matches, with 58 wins, 24 draws, and 27 losses. His win rate during that period was 60.55%.
The main title came in 2008, when Tite led Internacional to the Copa Sudamericana trophy. Before that, Tite had won the 2001 Copa do Brasil with Grêmio. That title was one of the first major trophies of his coaching career.
His spell with the Brazil national team represents the period with the highest win rate among the main jobs listed in the survey. Tite coached Brazil in 81 matches, with 60 wins, 15 draws, and six losses. That record corresponds to an 80.25% win rate.
The coach took over the national team in June 2016 and remained in the role until January 2023. During that span, he won the 2019 Copa América and led the team in two World Cup editions, in 2018 and 2022.
In both World Cup appearances, Brazil were eliminated in the quarterfinals. In Russia, for example, the team lost to Belgium. In Qatar, the elimination came against Croatia on penalties.
After leaving the Brazil national team, Tite returned to club football. The coach took over Flamengo in October 2023 and remained in charge until September 2024. With the club, there were 70 matches, with 41 wins, 13 draws, 16 losses, and a 64.64% win rate.
Tite also won the Campeonato Carioca during his time at Flamengo. The job marked his first experience as coach of a Rio de Janeiro team before arriving at Botafogo.
Before reaching an agreement with Botafogo, Tite coached Cruzeiro in 2026. There were 17 matches, with eight wins, two draws, and seven losses, according to the survey presented. The job in Belo Horizonte was his most recent before returning to Rio de Janeiro football.
Now, the coach will have Botafogo as the next club in his career. In this new role, Tite will be under contract until December 2028 and will take charge of Botafogo in another chapter of his coaching career.
