Dunga was fired after Brazil was eliminated in the group stage of the Copa America for the first time since 1987. With memories of the Germany semifinal from 2014 still looming over the federation, Tite will certainly have his hands full with tons of pressure to succeed heading into the 2018 World Cup.
