Adenor Leonardo Bacchi, better known as Tite (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈtiti]; born 25 May 1961, Caxias do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul), is a Brazilian football manager. He has played for and managed a number of clubs. Tite is the current coach of the Brazilian national team. He is famous for his successful stint at Corinthians, which he trained from 2004 to 2005; then from 2010 to 2013, when he led the team to their first Copa Libertadores title and a second FIFA Club World Cup title; and, after taking a sabbatical year to study more about modern football, from 2015 until June 2016 when he became coach for the national team. Known for his eloquence, Tite is well known for his rhetoric and his demeanor off the pitch.

Tite began his playing career in 1978 for Caxias. In 1984 he plays for Esportivo de Bento Gonçalves. In 1985 he played for Portuguesa. From 1986 until 1988 he played for Guarani, in which he achieved the greatest honors as a player in his career, being part of the squad that finished as runners-up in the 1986 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, the 1987 Copa União and the 1988 São Paulo State Championship. His career, however, was ended prematurely at the age of 27 due to successive knee injuries, which caused him to lose mobility in one of the knees.

Tite's first managerial job was for Guarani from Garibaldi city, in (1990) before spells at Veranópolis (1992-1993-1994-1995-1998), Ypiranga de Erechim (1996), and Juventude (1997).
