Dunga named new Brazil manager

Former Brazil midfielder and captain Dunga was surprisingly named as the country's new national team coach on Monday.

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) said on its official website that Dunga agreed terms after a two-hour meeting.

"I want to bring the same determination I had as a player," Dunga, who captained Brazil's 1994 World Cup-winning team, told the CBF's website.

Dunga replaces Carlos Alberto Parreira who resigned last Wednesday.
