Why the Brazilian bench is the world football electric chair

Being coach of the Brazilian soccer team is one of the most prestigious but also more stressful tasks in the world.

Not surprisingly, Brazilian football has incorporated the cessation of coaches in their culture, both at club and selection level. And it is not seen with bad eyes that the technician who can be fired today resumes the reins of the team in another period.
