Brazil to go for Luis Enrique but players prefer 'Brazilian Guardiola'

The Brazilian national team are looking for a coach. The World Cup in Qatar was the end of a cycle for Tite, a coach who has a great record, but he was unable to get Brazil's sixth World Cup. In order to try and win it, the Brazilian FA have got several people on their agenda.

According to 'Sport', Luis Enrique is first on the list. The Spaniard, without a job after quitting as Spain boss, is reportedly the man chosen by president Ednaldo Rodrigues although he was not initially the first choice. 

Rodrigues dreamed about the possibility of persuading Pep Guardiola, but the Catalan coach will stay in Manchester. After Guardiola, Luis Enrique is higher up the list than Jose Mourinho, who was also linked with the Brazil job. 

The option of Luis Enrique is based on a series of things which make Brazil like him. His bravery when it comes to giving youngsters a chance is key to Brazil's philosophy as well as the fact he likes to play in attacking fashion. In addition, he is a coach who is used to the highest level and he has won trophies. However, there is something which goes against him. 

The senior figures in the Brazil squad seem to have a very different opinion of who the new coach should be. According to the latest information, they would go for Fernando Diniz. The Fluminense coach, nicknamed the 'Brazilian Guardiola', was very good last season thanks to his style of play (possession and dominance) although he has yet to win a trophy.
