He has just returned to his homeland after guiding them to the last 16 of the World Cup.

However, their hopes of becoming a record six-time world champion were dashed by Croatia on penalties.

That led to him resigning after the heartbreaking exit.

Now things are said to have gotten a lot worse for Tite after an incident at 6am.

According to reports from Brazil, he was out early this morning when he was attacked by a thief.

He was reportedly robbed of a chain – before the person then complained and blasted him over Brazil’s elimination from the World Cup.
