Brazil Faces Guinea and Senegal in Search of First Win in 2023
Interim Boss Ramon Menezes Looks to Make His Mark
Brazil, the illustrious footballing nation, is chasing its first win of the year as they take on African duo Guinea and Senegal in the upcoming international friendly window in June. Interim boss Ramon Menezes, who replaced Tite after the 2022 World Cup, is looking to make his mark and bring success to the national team. However, his debut match ended in a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Morocco in March. The Brazilian Football Association continues to stall over long-term plans to succeed Tite, leaving Menezes potentially staying in charge for the upcoming 2026 World Cup qualification matches set to commence in September.
