Neymar， 24， stood down as the Selecao's leader on Saturday after Brazil defeated Germany on penalties to win their first Olympic Games football gold medal in Rio.
""I said to Neymar that he should celebrate for now and worry about (the captaincy) later，"" Tite told a press conference here on Monday.
Neymar did not explain his reason for renouncing the captaincy， though it is believed his strained relationship with Brazil's media played a major part.
During a pre-Olympics news conference at Brazil's Terespolis training base， Neymar tersely fended off claims that his celebrity lifestyle could be affecting his football.

Tite replaced Dunga as Brazil's national coach in June after the team's group-stage elimination from the Copa America.
Brazil will play Ecuador in Quito on Sept. 1 followed by a clash with Colombia in Manaus five days later.
The Selecao are currently sixth in the South American zone qualifying standings for 2018 World Cup in Russia. The top four teams will book a direct berth in the tournament while the fifth-ranked side will earn a playoff spot.
