Rio de Janeiro (B2B) - Brasil melanjutkan pemecatan massal staf belakang layar timnas Piala Dunia mereka menyusul mundurnya pelatih Luiz Felipe Scolari.
Dokter tim Jose Luis Runco dan kepala komunikasi Rodrigo Paiva menjadi korban terbaru dari rangkaian pemecatan yang bermula dari kekalahan memalukan 1-7 dari juara dunia Jerman, kata Konfederasi Sepak Bola Brasil (CBF) seperti dilansir Yahoo Sports.
Scolari dan para asistennya sudah lebih dulu dipecat Senin lalu.
Runco adalah veteran Piala Dunia 2002 yang tetap berada di posnya sejak turnamen edisi itu, lapor koran Globo.
Paiva diskors selama turnamen ini karena menyerang pemain Chile Mauricio Pinilla pada pertandingan 16 Besar yang dimenangi Brasil lewat adu penalti.
Hanya kepala bidang logistik Guilherme Ribeiro yang selamat dari pemecatan.
CBF menggelar konferensi pers Kamis waktu setempat di tengah spekulasi mereka akan menunjuk mantan pelatih Corinthians Tite sebagai pengganti Scolari.
Rio de Janeiro - Brazil continued a mass clearout of their World Cup backroom staff on Tuesday following the resignation of coach Luiz Felipe Scolari.
Team doctor Jose Luis Runco and head of communications Rodrigo Paiva became the latest casualties of a campaign that turned on its head with the 7-1 semi-final mauling at the hands of eventual champions Germany, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) said.
Scolari and his assistants went on Monday.
Runco was a veteran of the 2002 campaign who had been in the post ever since, Globo reported.
Paiva was suspended during the tournament for striking Chilean player Mauricio Pinilla during their last 16 match, which Brazil narrowly won on penalties.
Only head of logistics Guilherme Ribeiro has survived the cull.
The CBF have called a news conference Thursday amid speculation they may appoint former Corinthians coach Tite as Scolari's successor.
