New Brazil coach Dunga has chosen Andrey Lopes as his assistant manager and given former World Cup winners Taffarel and Mauro Silva places on his backroom team.
The little-known Lopes was Dunga's assistant when he coached Internacional last year.
Taffarel, who will be goalkeeping coach, played with Dunga when they won the World Cup in 1994, as did former midfielder Mauro Silva.
They were among 13 new names appointed to provide back up to the new boss.
"We are calling up players who were world champions so we have that DNA in our team," said Gilmar Rinaldi, Brazil's technical director.
"We want these professionals to be our critical eyes, pointing out where we can improve."
The appointments came the day after Dunga was named coach for a second time, replacing Luiz Felipe Scolari who resigned after the World Cup where Brazil were hammered 7-1 by Germany in the semi-finals.
Although many critics called for an overhaul of the domestic game and the appointment of a foreign coach, Dunga was brought back as national team boss four years after he failed to take Brazil beyond the quarter-finals of the World Cup in South Africa.
His first game in charge will be the friendly against Colombia in Miami on September 5.
