Brazil have named former captain Dunga as their new head coach. The 42 year old former midfield hardman has the same amount of managerial experience as Soccer Weblog, but that didn't seem to bother Jürgen Klinsmann this summer, or Frank Rijkaard back in 2000.

After Brazil's meek World Cup showing Dunga could be just the man to return the notion of hard work to the Seleção.

His first game in charge will be away to Norway on August 16th. I wouldn't be too surprised to see underperforming layabouts like Adriano and Ronaldo benched or ignored in favour of enthusiastic young guns like Robinho.
