The veteran guided the
Selecao to the world title
in 2002 and
Confederations Cup last
year but has opted to
step aside after the host nation's collapse this
summer

Brazil boss Luiz Felipe Scolari has presented
the Brazilian FA (CBF) with his resignation
letter in the wake of their
disappointing end to the 2014
World Cup. The 65-year-old initially refused
to step down after Brazil's
failure to win the world title
on home soil and said at the
weekend that it would be up
to the CBF to make a decision on his future. However, it is understood
Scolari has indeed informed the
CBF he will resign from his
post, with Brazil's footballing
chiefs expected to make the
2002 World Cup winner's departure official on Monday. The Selecao started the
tournament as the big
favourites, but failed to live up
to the expectations as they had
to settle for fourth spot
overall. Brazil beat Croatia in their
opening game before they
were held to a scoreless draw
by Mexico. A win over
Cameroon saw them book
their ticket for the knockout stages, where they beat Chile
after spot-kicks and then
Colombia 2-1 in the quarter-
finals. The hosts' dream came to an
abrupt end in the semi-finals,
though, when they were
thrashed 7-1 by Germany and
Netherlands only poured more
salt in their wounds in the third place playoff with a 3-0
win. Scolari guided Brazil to 19
victories in 29 games during his
second spell in charge, winning
the Confederations Cup - also
on home soil - in 2013.
