SAO PAULO (AP) — Ramon Menezes will serve as Brazil’s interim coach while the search continues for a permanent successor to Tite, who stepped down after the World Cup. The 50-year-old Menezes guided Brazil’s Under-20 team to the South American championship title on Sunday and the Brazilian Football Confederation says he will be in charge for a friendly against World Cup semifinalist Morocco in Tangier on March 25. Brazil exited the tournament in Qatar in the quarterfinals against Croatia.
