Tite begins at Botafogo: first adjustments ahead of 2026

Tite signed with Botafogo and had a difficult start: a 2-0 loss against Mirassol on Saturday. In the first half, the game proved laborious, lacking creativity despite possession of the ball. The tactical changes in the second half showed improved offensive dynamics, notably with Ziyech's introduction. Although the result did not change, these adjustments foreshadow the new identity that Tite seeks to impose before leading Brazil at the 2026 World Cup.
