“I have to understand that, as a human being, I can be insecure. Accepting it that will definitely make me strong,” Tight, who gave coaching to Brazil by 2022, took them to two World Cup quarter -finals.
“I love what I do and I will continue, but as I talked to my family and paid attention to the signs that my body was giving me, I decided to do what is best now and to take care of myself to disrupt my career as long as I need to take care of myself.”
After being fired by flamego in less than a year of taking the job in less than a year, Tight has not done the coach anywhere, but was expected to sign a deal with the Corinthians on Tuesday, before he decides otherwise.
