Former Brazil head coach Tite says he is taking an indefinite break from football to take care of his health.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 63-year-old managed Brazil between 2016 and 2022<\/a> and guided them to the Copa America title in 2019.<\/p>\n

Tite, who was hospitalised last August because of a heart issue, was recently linked with the job at Corinthians – a club he has managed during three different spells.<\/p>\n

But local media reported that, external<\/span><\/a> the coach suffered an anxiety attack on the night before he was to fly to Sao Paulo to sign for the club. <\/p>\n

“I realised that there are times when you have to understand that, as a human being, I can be vulnerable and admitting that will certainly make me stronger,” Tite said in a statement posted on his son Matheus Bachi’s Instagram.<\/p>\n

“I am passionate about what I do and I’ll continue to be so, but after talking to my family and observing the signals my body was giving off, I decided that the best thing to do now is to take a break from my career to look after myself for as long as it takes.<\/p>\n

“As has become public, there was a conversation in progress with Corinthians, but it will have to be paralysed by a difficult but necessary decision.”<\/p>\n

Tite stepped down as Brazil head coach after they lost to Croatia on penalties in the 2022 World Cup quarter-finals in Qatar.<\/p>\n

He joined Flamengo the following year but was sacked last September after a year in charge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
