Former Brazil manager Tite has sights on a new horizon after conquering South America.

The 62-year-old tactician has won every trophy in his native Brazil, and he is now looking for a new challenge, specifically in a different continent.

"If there's a good professional opportunity, why not? I want a new challenge, one in Europe would be very interesting to me," Tite said when asked about a potential Premier League job.

Tite started his managerial career in 1991, shortly after having to prematurely end his playing career at age 27 due to debilitating knee injuries that caused him to lose mobility in one of his knees.

Despite a decorated coaching career of more than three decades, Tite has never coached in Europe, spending most of his career in his homeland with a myriad of teams aside from two short stints in the United Arab Emirates.

Tite Loved By Brazilian Players

After a long and successful career in the Brazilian leagues, Tite was finally appointed as the national team manager in 2016, providing coherence and tactical quality after taking over a disjointed squad previously managed by Dunga, the captain of Brazil's 1994 World Cup-winning squad.

Despite not taking home a World Cup, Tite has done a decent job handling the country's most pressure-packed job.

Several players have shown their admiration for the manager, with left-back Marcelo declaring, "I would kill for Tite."  

Tite is also the longest-serving manager of the Brazil national team in history, guiding them for over six years until stepping down after the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
