He is now national coach of the [[Brazil national football team|Brazilian national team]]. Dunga's nickname is Portuguese for Dopey, one of the [[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937 film)|Seven Dwarfs]]. Carlos' uncle gave him this nickname when he believed that Carlos would never grow to a tall stature. ==Playing career== On club level, Dunga played for the [[Sport Club Internacional|Internacional]] (1980-84, 1999-2000), [[Sport Club Corinthians Paulista|Corinthians]] (1984-85), [[Santos Futebol Clube|Santos]] (1985-87), [[Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama|Vasco da Gama]] (1987), [[Pisa Calcio|Pisa]] (1987-88), [[ACF Fiorentina|Fiorentina]] (1988-92), [[Pescara Calcio|Pescara]] (1992-93), [[VfB Stuttgart]] (1993-95), and [[Jubilo Iwata]] (1995-98). Internationally, he played 91 times for Brazil, scoring six goals. His international career begun in 1983 at the Sub-20 World Cup. Dunga captained the young Brazilian squad, winning the tournament against Argentina in the final. A year later he helped Brazil to win a [[Football at the 1984 Summer Olympics|silver medal]] at the [[1984 Summer Olympics]] in Los Angeles. Dunga then started to get calls for Brazil's main squad, winning the [[1989 Copa América]] by defeating Uruguay at the [[Maracanã]] Stadium. In 1990 he was a starter for Brazil at the World Cup. After a lackluster tournament and the subsequent elimination in the second round by arch rivals Argentina, Dunga was held responsible more so than his team mates for the worst campaign at a World Cup since 1966. In the following years he would be consistently targeted by Brazilian press due to his supposedly thuggish style of playing. This period in Brazil's football history was called "Era Dunga", as according to fans and journalists he symbolized the less than thrilling, slow and defensive style of the team. In spite of that, Brazil's new coach [[Carlos Alberto Parreira]] kept Dunga as one of the starting eleven throughout the 1994 World Cup Qualifiers and Finals. [[Raí]] actually started the 1994 World Cup as Brazilian captain but after a series of poor performances he was dropped altogether for [[Mazinho]]. Dunga took the captaincy and went on to lift the trophy. Dunga had redeemed himself in the eyes of the press and fans alike, and ever since has been considered a symbol of heart and determination. Four years later although playing in the lower standard [[J League]] in [[Japan]] he captained Brazil once more to the final where they lost to [[France]]. Dunga played the anchor role in midfield extremely effectively, many players in this position lunge into tackles and put themselves about, but Dunga rarely went to ground to make a tackle instead using his anticipation and timing, his passing ability was also second to none, always starting a fresh attack and rarely wasting it. In 1994, he often served as the captain of the team. Dunga scored the third penalty kick in the finals against Italy. He assumed the captain role for the next four years until the 1998 World Cup. The 1998 tournament was notable for the lack of teamwork. It was often visible as Dunga got into a fight with teammate [[Bebeto]] in the first round match against Morocco, forcing the rest of the team to break them up. Dunga also scored in the fourth penalty kick in the shootout eventually won by Brazil against the Netherlands in the semi-finals. ==Management== Dunga was one of those considered to replace [[Vanderlei Luxemburgo]] in 2000 as the Brazilian national coach. The reason why Dunga turned down his offer was his dislike of the way the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) was organized and managing their affairs. {{Fact|date=February 2007}} On [[July 24]], [[2006]], Dunga was named as the new national coach of the [[Brazil national football team|Brazilian national team]] as a replacement for [[Carlos Alberto Parreira]], even though he has no prior coaching experience at professional level. However, he made an impressive start with [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]], winning four of his first five matches. Zagallo has recently declared Dunga's work as the head coach of the Brazilian national team is very satisfactory. His first match in charge was against [[Norway national football team|Norway]] which was played in Oslo on [[August 16]], ended in a 1-1 draw. His second match was held against arch rivals [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]] on [[September 3]] in [[Arsenal F.C.]]'s new [[Emirates Stadium]] in [[London]], in which Brazil defeated Argentina by a 3-0 scoreline. On [[5 September]] they defeated [[Wales national football team|Wales]] 2-0 at [[Tottenham Hotspur F.C.]]'s [[White Hart Lane]] ground. They later defeated [[Kuwait]] club, [[Al Kuwait Kaifan|Al-Kuwait]] 4-0, [[Ecuador national football team|Ecuador]] 2-1 and had a 2-1 away win against [[Switzerland national football team|Switzerland]]. Unlike Parreira, Dunga has focused on the task of unemphasizing all players and treating them as equals. He did not just look for players in popular clubs such as [[A.C. Milan]], [[FC Barcelona]], [[Real Madrid]], etc., but looked at the whole scope of Europe, finding individual talents such as [[Daniel da Silva Carvalho|Daniel Carvalho]], [[Vagner Love]] and [[Dudu Cearense]] of Russian club [[PFC CSKA Moscow|CSKA Moscow]] and also [[Elano Blumer|Elano]] of English Football Club [[Manchester City]]. Of the former Magic Quartet, [[Ronaldinho]] and [[Kaká]] were the only players who had a place in the Brazilian national side on those matches, until the next year when [[Adriano Leite Ribeiro|Adriano]] was called back in the squad for a friendly against [[Portugal national football team|Portugal]] which Brazil lost 0-2. Dunga is yet to select the last member of the Magic Quartet, [[Ronaldo]]. Dunga recently managed Brazil to their second straight Copa America title by beating arch-rivals Argentina in the final 3-0, who were heavily favored to win against a weak Brazil squad. ===Games of
