Copa America 2024: Brazil Coach Names Who To Blame After Quarter-final exit

Meanwhile, Dorival Junior, the head coach of Brazil, has accepted complete accountability for their elimination in the quarter-finals of the 2024 Copa América.

The Selecao suffered a 4-2 defeat in a penalty shootout against 10-man Uruguay on Saturday.

“I do have to acknowledge that these weren’t the expected results, and I take full responsibility for them.

“But I do think as well that this team has great room to grow and evolve and improve,” Dorival told reporters.

The match ended in a goalless draw at the end of regular time, with Brazil unable to find the back of the net even after Uruguay’s Nahitan Nandez was sent off in the 74th minute.

Éder Militão and Douglas Luiz missed their penalty kicks in the shootout, but Alisson Becker saved a shot from Uruguay’s José María Giménez.

Manuel Ugarte scored the decisive penalty to secure Uruguay’s victory.

Despite being finalists in 2021 and champions in 2019, Brazil only managed to win one game in the group stage.
