According to a statement from the club, Tite will take charge of the team, having previously held the position of Brazil national team coach. His tenure with the national team ended with an impressive 80% win rate, achieved in 81 games, with 60 victories, 15 draws, and just six defeats. This success was achieved during his two World Cup stints in 2018 and 2022, as well as the team's Copa América victory in 2019.

Tite's previous managerial experience includes stints at Cruzeiro and Flamengo, where he won the Campeonato Mineiro and a Campeonato Carioca respectively. However, his performances in the Brasileirão were not as successful, leading to his eventual departure from both clubs.
