Brazil reportedly want France legend Zinedine Zidane to replace Tite as coach after failing to lure Pep Guardiola away from Manchester City.

Tite resigned as Brazil coach after the pre-tournament World Cup favorites were knocked out in the quarter-finals. Croatia beat Brazil 4-2 on penalties and kicked them out of the World Cup.

And according to Ok Diario, the Samba Boys will try to tempt three-time Champions League winner with Real Madrid, Zidane, to take charge of the Seleçao.

The Brazilian broke down in negotiations with Manchester City boss Guardiola, who recently signed a new contract that will keep him at the Etihad until the summer of 2025.

Zidane is being supported by his former Real Madrid teammate and Brazil icon, Ronaldo. R9 has a good relationship with the president of the Brazilian Football Confederation.

Zidane had hoped to take charge of France and has already reportedly turned down six offers, including a six-figure bid from Paris Saint-Germain to return to management.
