Brazil head coach Tite has stepped down from his post after the Selecao were knocked out of the World Cup by Croatia.
It is the second successive time Brazil have exited the World Cup at the quarter-final stage. Neymar scored a wondergoal in extra-time to put them ahead, but Bruno Petkovic equalised with three minutes remaining to send the game to a penalty shootout.
Rodrygo and Marquinhos both missed their spot-kicks and, with Croatia scoring all four of theirs, Brazil were sent crashing out. As a result, Tite has now left his post as head coach - a move that was decided before the tournament started in Qatar.
Tite announced his decision to leave his job back in February, confirming that he was ready to take on a new challenge. He had spent six years in the job after replacing Dunga in June 2016, but admitted he would depart following the tournament in Qatar.
"I'm going until the end of the World Cup," Tite told SporTV. "I have no reason to lie here. I don't want to win any way. I've won everything in my career, the only thing missing is the World Cup."
He led Brazil to the quarter-finals of the 2018 World Cup, where they lost to Belgium, before going on to win the 2019 Copa America. But his final year in charge was one of disappointment, losing the Copa America final in 2021 before crashing out of the World Cup.
Casemiro and Thiago Silva, two of Brazil's most experienced players, have reacted to their unexpected defeat. Casemiro said: "All defeats are painful, especially when you have a goal, a dream, you have a four-year job for that moment. But it's hard to find words.
"Hard to find moments. It's lifting your head, life goes on. We are sad, everyone in the group did their best. We get upset, mainly because of the way it was. It was in our hand, it escaped there. Hard moment. Now it's peace of mind, life that has to go on."
Silva said: "It's difficult, but as much as it's sad, life needs to move on, lift your head. I'm very proud of the boys for what we did, but unfortunately it's part of football."
Silva added: "I've gone through some disappointments in my life, not only in the national team, but in my personal life as well. When we lose something important that you have as a goal, it hurts like that, it hurts a lot, but it's trying to lift your head and keep going.
"There's no other alternative. I'm a guy that every time I fell I got up, it won't be this time I'm staying here. Unfortunately, as a player I won't be able to lift this cup. Who knows later with another role."
Croatia will play either Argentina or the Netherlands at the Lusail Stadium on Tuesday night for a place in the World Cup final. The four teams in the other side of the draw are England, France, Portugal and Morocco - with their quarter-finals taking place on Saturday.
