Brazil’s coaching search continues after Ramalho stays at Fluminense – USA Today

Muricy Ramalho Hired As Manager
CBF just announced Muricy Ramalho as the new coach of the Brazil team.
Muricy is currently managing Fluminense FC, from Rio, which is the leader of the First Division of the Brazilian League (last night, Fluminense won Cruzeiro by 1 x 0).
Muricy started his coach career as pupil of Tele Santana (manager of Brazilian team in the World Cups of 1982 and 1986, considered by many the best Brazilian football coach of all times), in the early 1990s.
Muricy won his first titles in State championships of 2001 and 2002, with Nautico, in Recife. In 2003, he was State champion with Internacional, in Porto Alegre. In 2004, he was champion with Santo Andre, in Sao Paulo. In 2005, he was again champion with Internacional.
Then, Muricy moved up to win National championships. He was Brazilian champion with Sao Paulo FC in 2006, 2007 and 2008.
In 2009, he coached Palmeiras, which led the tournament for several rounds, but failed near the finals. Since April 2010, he had been coaching Fluminense.
These titles show that, today, no other coach in Brazil has more results to show than Muricy.
Other candidates were Luis Felipe Scollari (champion of 2002), Wanderley Luxemburgo (coach of the Olympic Team in 1996), Leonardo (player in 1994 and ex-Director of Milan AC) and Mano Menezes (currently coach of Corinthians, whose President is a close friend of Ricardo Teixeira, President of CBF – the man with powers to appoint the coach of the Brazilian team).
The first match of Muricy will be a friendly agains the USA Team on August 10th 2010 in New Jersey. As Brazil won’t have to play the Qualifying for 2014, it is very likely that Muricy will keep his position until then.
As a player, Muricy was an idol in Sao Paulo FC in the mid-1970s. He could have had a bright career in the Brazil National Team, if he hadn’t contenders such as Zico, Rivelino and Falcão.
