Tite is out at Corinthians after being named the new coach of the Brazilian national team on Wednesday.

"Tite no longer works at Corinthians. He accepted the invitation from the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF)," said Corinthians president Roberto de Andrade, per Agence France-Presse (via Yahoo Sports).

Tite, 55, will be replacing Dunga, who was fired after Brazil's shocking elimination in the Copa America Centenario group stage.

Tite will not coach the Brazilian Olympic team in Rio de Janeiro. Instead, the CBF announced Wednesday that Rogerio Micale will take over the team for the 2016 Summer Games.

"The Brazilian Football Confederation confirms that Rogerio Micale will be the coach of the B...
