The Brazilian national team's backroom staff, headed up by Carlos Dunga, dropped in on both Atletico and Real Madrid in training.

The Brazil boss chatted with Argentine Diego Simeone, as well as with Carlo Ancelotti and his number two, Fernando Hierro.

That is according to the Brazilian Football Federation(CBF), which said that Dunga was on a tour of European clubs with Brazilian internationals in their ranks, accompanied by the Brazilian national team's coordinator, Gilmar Rinaldi and the CBF's assistant coach, Andrey Lopes.

After dropping by on French side Monaco and Barcelona, the three travelled to Madrid, where they first visited Atletico at their Majadahonda training ground, where they were welcomed by Atleti boss Diego Simeone, with whom they chatted and had their photo taken, which was also posted on the CBF's website.

Dunga, Rinaldi and Lopes then crossed town to Valdebebas to attend training at Real Madrid, where they met with first-team coach Carlo Ancelotti, whom they gave a personalised Brazil shirt, and his assistant Fernando Hierro.

Real Madrid's Marcelo and Lucas Silva, and Atletico de Madrid's Joao Miranda all play under Dunga in his new-look Brazil side.

Dunga and Brazil's backroom staff's visit to Atletico and Real Madrid marked the end of their tour of several European clubs.
