Dunga Recieves Brazil Honour




Brazil coach Dunga has been immortalised in the Maracana stadium Walk of Fame.


The 43-year-old, who won 91 international caps between 1982 and 1998 and scored 6 goals, was honoured by Eduardo Paes, the national secretary of Tourism, Sport and Entertainment.


The plaque containing his footprints has been placed alongside those of Dunga's Brazil assistant Jorginho and Palmeiras striker Edmundo.


"I'm in good company, alongside great players who brought joy to millions of fans. I'm proud to be honoured in this way," said Dunga.


"I thank Mr Paes for the chance to be remembered."


Dunga is the 93rd player to be added to the Walk of Fame at the Maracana.


He was also captain of the team that won the 1994 World Cup under Carlos Alberto Parreira.
