Dunga replaces Fernandao, who lasted less than six months in charge at the club, and the 49-year-old will take charge with his coaching team in time for the beginning of the 2013 season.

The ex-midfielder, who captained Brazil's 1994 World Cup-winning side, has been out of work since standing down as coach following Brazil's loss to Netherlands in the quarter-finals of the 2010 World Cup.

His reign as coach of the national side was a largely successful one, which saw Dunga lead his team to the 2007 Copa America and 2009 Confederations Cup titles, and an Olympic bronze medal in Beijing in 2008.
