Saudi boss Helio dos Anjos and Jorvan Vieira of Iraq will pit South American wits against each other at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta and Vieira can’t wait.
“This is good for Brazil. It’s a very special moment – two Brazilian coaches in one final in Asia,” Vieira was quoted as saying by the AFC official site.
“Maybe it might also happen one day in the World Cup because there are so many Brazilian coaches training national teams, you never know.
“But this is the Asian Cup - the top of the top on the Asian continent - and to have two Brazilians coaching here is very important and a very powerful statement for us.”
“We have so many coaches in Brazil who could perhaps show better than me but they have not had the opportunity. We have good standards and a good school and we have proved it as five-time World Cup champions.
“And nobody expected that we would win the recent Copa America but we did it with a new generation, new players and new coach.It’s like a gold mine of football talent and the more you look, the more you will find.”
