“He has a great history, and he’s a great coach,” Careca told Gazzetta.

“He has worked in many countries with players of various nationalities, and he knows Brazilian talent very well. It’s been far too long since we’ve won a World Cup, and he’s the right man to make it happen.”

During the same interview, Careca also examined the Napoli situation, arguing that Scott McTominay remains the key player for the Partenopei.

Careca did not win the World Cup with Brazil as a footballer, but did win one Scudetto with Napoli in 1989-90.
