Brazil Coach Did Not Object to FIFA Not Ranking Algerian Team Africa’s Best

Social media accounts have recently shared an alleged statement attributed to the coach of Brazil’s national team Adenor Leonardo Bachi, known as Tite. The statement reads: “I do not understand FIFA’s ranking [system]. Are they waiting for the Algerian team to win the World Cup and Confederations Cup to be ranked as Africa’s top team? It is already one of the top 10 teams worldwide.”
