Ronaldo hopes Tite will stay

Brazil great Ronaldo says Tite should stay in charge of the national team despite exiting the World Cup at the quarterfinal stage.

Belgium triumphed 2-1 in Kazan on Friday thanks to a Fernandinho own goal and Kevin De Bruyne's rocket, with Renato Augusto replying with a header for the Selecao.

Tite's men lost just once during qualifying but the coach's future could be cast into doubt by Brazil's World Cup failure.

Ronaldo, though, says Tite ought to get the chance to stay in charge of the team even though they could not extend their stay at Russia 2018 into the semi-finals.

"It's a delicate moment for the Selecao, both politically and technically," Ronaldo said.

"I believe Tite must remain. He's a sensational guy and he's doing a phenomenal job, but he has to continue this work."
