Julio Cesar: Guardiola would do great with Brazil and likes of Neymar

According to

Julio Cesar

, Pep Guardiola would be a perfect head coach for Brazil since his methods would assist players like Neymar and Vinicius Junior.

With Tite stepping down after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar,

is looking for a new manager, and Guardiola has been connected with the job.

The Catalan is under contract with

until June 2023, when he might lead them to

success on Sunday, but he has previously stated an interest in moving into international coaching.

Julio Cesar believes that his control of the ball strategy would benefit Brazil's most gifted players and that he would be a good fit for the Selecao.

"He has all the qualities to do it. He is one of the best in the world, his style of play is very Brazilian," Julio Cesar told Stats Perform courtesy of Enterprise Rent-A-Car. 

"Everyone knows that Brazilian players love to keep the ball; the majority of them also play in Europe and they are learning to play better on the pitch. 

"We have so much quality on the Brazilian national team: Neymar, Raphinha, [Lucas] Paqueta, Vinicius Junior. All these players are very talented and having a manager like Guardiola would give these players the opportunity of playing the ball more. 

"Every player would love to work with a manager like him. It wouldn't be a bad idea, although we also have really good managers in Brazil. He is a big name in the football world and it wouldn't be a bad thing having him representing our national side. I like the idea."

Tite's previous World Cup run with Brazil concluded in a quarter-final loss to Belgium four years ago in Russia.

He led the Selecao to Copa America success in 2019, but they were unable to retain their championship two years later, losing in the final to Argentina.

Julio Cesar already feels Tite will create an enduring legacy, but he is certain that leading Brazil to victory in Qatar will elevate him much more

.

"This is what the World Cup gets you, it will level you up. If you can bring the World Cup to Brazil, you can leave with your head held high, you have done your job," he said. 

"He won the Copa America in 2019, he got to the final again against Argentina. He did very well so far, even in the [World Cup] qualifiers he got first place ahead of Argentina.

"He can leave with his head held high, but winning a World Cup with Brazil will take him to the top."
