Brazil senior coach Dunga will be in charge of his country’s team at the Rio Olympics next year, the Brazilian Football Confederation has confirmed.
Dunga, who had said that he preferred to concentrate only on taking Brazil to the 2018 World Cup in Russia, takes over from Alexandre Gallo.
Gallo had been coach of the Olympic and under-20 teams for the past two years.
Brazil have never won an Olympic football gold medal.
