CBF vice-president vows not to interfere with Dunga's work

Xinhua, March 5, 2016 Adjust font size:

Gustavo Feijo, vice-president of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), has vowed not to interfere with the work of Dunga, head coach of the Brazilian national football team.

Feijo has claimed he will watch the upcoming World Cup qualifiers, against Uruguay and Paraguay on 25 and 29 March respectively, "just to give strength to the team."

In a press conference, Feijo explained that he gets on well with Dunga and that the CBF invited him into the body to be closer to the team.

Feijo had previously given an interview claiming he had "autonomy" within the CBF, something which reportedly displeased coordinator Gilmar Rinaldi.

Since that misunderstanding, however, Feijo has been far more cautious in his public declarations. Endit
