Luiz Felipe Scolari has resigned as Brazil Coach after their embarrassing World Cup campaign.
The Selecao crashed out of the tournament thanks to an amazing 7-1 loss to Germany in the semi-final, and then went on to lose 3-0 to Netherlands in the third-place play-off.
As such, with media and fan clamour for him to call it a day, the tactician has revealed that he has stepped down from the top job.
“Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari and his fellow coaching staff surrendered their resignations to the board of the Brazilian Football Confederation,” a statement on the CBF's official website read.
“The resignation was accepted by President Marin, who was keen to thank all the committee members and players and, by extension, the Brazilian fans for showing love to the Brazilian national team throughout the World Cup campaign.
“Scolari and his entire coaching staff deserve our respect and gratitude. They were responsible for returning to the Brazilian people your love for selection, despite not having achieved our greatest goal.”
