Dunga's debut

Dunga will coach his first game as Brazilian National manager tonight, as Brazil travels to Norway for a friendly. Without the main players from the squad that failed miserably in Germany during the World Cup, the Brazilian Federation hopes this can mean a strong start to the rebuilding of the team for the 2010 World Cup. Dunga will not only have to overcome the difficult task of coaching his first game ever at the National level, but also must do so against a team Brazil has never been able to beat. More than a change in tactics, for now the coach only promises a change in attitude, demanding more of an effort from his players than what the team showed during the World Cup. Before the end of the year, he will likely get at least three other chances to see his squad in friendly action: against Argentina, Wales and Kuwait.
