Brazil coach, Dunga, insists he is not afraid of “dismissal” after his side’s shock exit from the 2016 Copa America.
The eight-time winners were controversially beaten 1-0 by Peru in Foxborough on Monday morning, as Raul Ruidiaz appeared to use his hand to bundle a cross home with 15 minutes remaining.
Ecuador’s subsequent 4-0 victory over Haiti means they go through to the quarter-finals along with Peru, with five-time world champions Brazil failing to progress beyond the group stage for the first time since 1987.
And Dunga, 52, who was sacked from his first spell in charge of the Selecao after their last-eight exit at the 2010 World Cup, is coming under increasing pressure, but the former skipper insists: “I do not fear dismissal, I am only afraid of death.”
He added: “The president of the federation knows what we do and how we work.
“When you work for the Brazilian team, you know very well that the criticism will intensify when results do not come.
“In Brazil we want everything to change in two minutes, but in football you must be patient.”
