Sao Paulo - Brazil's football
confederation (CBF) will not
renew national coach Luiz
Felipe Scolari's contract, local
media reported early on
Monday, just hours after Germany defeated Argentina
to win the 2014 FIFA World
Cup. Scolari said that he would let
the CBF decide his fate after
his team lost the game for
third place 3-0 to the
Netherlands on Saturday, and
after being crushed by Germany in a humiliating 7-1
defeat on Tuesday. Tuesday's performance was
the country's worst defeat
since losing the 1950 final
game to Uruguay in a
tournament held in Brazil, a
black mark on the nation's psyche known as the
Maracanazo. Scolari, best known by his
nickname Felipao, led Brazil to
a World Cup victory in 2002 in
Japan. He took over the team
in December 2012, just before
Brazil hosted the Confederations Cup. Brazil won that tournament,
seen as a dress rehearsal for
the World Cup, 3-0 in a final
match over reigning
champions Spain. Brazil then began preparing for
what they hoped would be a
sixth World Cup trophy and
their first Cup victory at home. Critics however remained
unconvinced by Scolari's
unelegant style and rough
tactics.

I'm sure he saw it coming after Brazil was ridiculed by the world and took 4th position.
Who retains a staff that underperforms? Except the Nigerian government.
