Last Friday, many Brazilians were in a frenzy.\u00a0 The new head coach for the national soccer team was to be chosen.\u00a0 All day Friday, all anyone could talk about was how Muricy Ramalho, the carioca<\/em> team, Fluminense<\/em>‘s head coach, was going to take CBF’s (Clube Brasileiro de Futebol<\/em>) offer.\u00a0 However, when he did, his current team didn’t allow him to leave them.\u00a0 So they went on to their next choice, Mano Menezes, head coach of Corinthians<\/em>.\u00a0 Corinthians<\/em>, a S\u00e3o Paulo club, is today in first place in the Brazilian tournament, o brasileir\u00e3o<\/em>, and has the largest fan base in the entire country.<\/p>\n

So you can imagine all the hoopla surrounding this decision!!\u00a0 Terra<\/a> <\/em>featured some quotes from all sorts of people talking about Mano as Brazil’s new head coach which I thought would be interesting to share with you all!<\/p>\n

“Chego para ser o t\u00e9cnico da Sele\u00e7\u00e3o com muito orgulho.\u00a0 Devemos ter no futebol brasileiro 30,40 ou 50 excelentes profissionais.\u00a0 Sou o segundo, estou bem colocado.” – <\/em>Mano Menezes, playing off he was CBF’s number 2.<\/p>\n

“Acredito nessas coisas, respeitar as pessoas.\u00a0 Acredito nisso.\u00a0 Algu\u00e9m pode dizer: esses cara parece louco, mais eu n\u00e3o sou louco. Para mim, \u00e9 assim que funciona.” – <\/em>Muricy Ramalho, defending his decision to stay with Fluminense.<\/p>\n

“Ele mostrou coragem e tamb\u00e9m orgulho por ter a oportunidade que todo t\u00e9cnico do mundo sonhas, que \u00e9 dirigir a Sele\u00e7\u00e3o Brasileira.\u00a0 Tenho a certeza de que realizar\u00e1 um grande trabalho at\u00e9 2014.” <\/em>– Ricardo Texeita, CBF president, praising Mano, and nudging Muricy.<\/p>\n
