RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil -- Brazil is set to name its new national team coach, with reports suggesting Carlos Dunga is likely to return to the post. Brazil will announce a coach on Tuesday to succeed Luiz Felipe Scolari, who resigned after Brazil failed to win the World Cup -- eliminated in a humiliating 7-1 loss to Germany in the semifinals. Reports say Dunga will get the job, although the Brazilian football confederation has declined to confirm the appointment. Dunga was the captain of Brazils 1994 World Cup-winning team, and coached the national team in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. He was dismissed after Brazil lost 2-1 in the quarterfinals to the Netherlands. The Rio de Janeiro daily O Globo put Dungas face across the first page of its sports section on Monday, under the headline: "New Era: The Return of Dunga." "In a moment when the national team seeks a lost identity, the national federation rescues a symbol of football and results," the paper wrote. The Sao Paulo newspaper O Estado De S.Paulo put a brief story on the return on Dunga on its first page, and inside ran the headline: "CBF Is Going To Confirm Dunga Tomorrow." The return of Dunga seems to be linked to the naming of Gilmar Rinaldi as the new technical director, replacing Carlos Alberto Parreira. Rinaldi was a goalkeeper on the 94 team, and Globo said he and Dunga had reached a quick agreement for the former coach and captain to return. The second choice for coach seems to be Tite -- Adenor Leonardo Bacchi -- the coach of Brazilian club side Corinthians. He was an early favourite, but slipped after Rinaldi was named. Dunga was in charge of 60 matches as national team coach. Brazil won 42, drew 12 and lost six. Wholesale Jerseys .

The Ducks started the night with Getzlaf and Perry skating on different lines but changed up after getting into the early ....................., and almost staged an epic comeback.I put them back together and they showed the passion that comes with playing well, coach Bruce Boudreau said.
