The Confederation of Brazilian Football has decided against renewing the contract of beleaguered boss Luiz Felipe Scolari, according to widespread reports, with the 65-year-old leaving his post following consecutive horror defeats during the 2014 World Cup.
According to Brazilian station Globo TV, the CBF will officially announce Scolari’s departure later on Monday, with the former Chelsea manager paying the price for two heinous defeats in their own back yard.
The 7-1 thrashing at the hands of Germany was not only Brazil’s first defeat on home soil since 1975, but it was also the biggest ever defeat at the World Cup.
This was followed up by a 3-0 loss to Louis van Gaal’s Netherlands side in the third-place playoff on the weekend, a match which failed to show any real improvement from the mauling the previous week.
With both performances seriously lacking in quality and invention, the CBF have seemingly decided to amputate, with Scolari the first and most obvious casualty from what was a distasterous end to their World Cup adventure.
