Brazil Football Federation have named former player Dunga as their new coach for the second time.
Dunga was the captain of Brazil’s 1994 World Cup-winning team and coached the national team from 2006 to 2011.
“I am immensely happy to be back,” said the 50-year-old, who was the favourite to land the job.
Dunga replaces Luiz Felipe Scolari, who resigned after Brazil reached the semi-finals of the 2014 World Cup, but suffered the joint-heaviest in their history, losing 7-1 to Germany.
Dunga was in charge at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa when Brazil were knocked out in the quarter-finals.
Scolari, who guided Brazil to World Cup victory in 2002, and his entire backroom staff have all left their posts since the tournament finished.
