According to various reports, the striker is about to sign a
five-and-a-half year extension with Manchester United worth a
reported 300,000 pounds a week that would see him at Old Trafford until
2019.SAO PAULO, Brazil -- Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari resigned
after the team failed to win the World Cup, the Brazilian Football
Confederation said Monday.
Scolari promised to win the tournament at home, but Brazil was
eliminated in the semifinals by a disastrous 7-1 loss to eventual
champion Germany that matched the national teams worst defeat in its
100-year history. Brazil also lost 3-0 to the Netherlands in the
third-place match.
Scolaris contract ended after the World Cup and he handed over the
command of the team after Saturdays match, saying it would be up to the
confederation to decide whether he would remain at the helm of the
five-time world champions.
In a statement, the confederation said President Jose Maria Marin
accepted what it called "Scolaris resignation."
"Scolari and his staff deserve our respect and our gratitude," the
statement said. "They were responsible for making the Brazilian people
regain their love for the Selecao even though we did not reach our
greater goal (of winning the title)."
Scolaris replacement was not immediately announced. Assistant Carlos
Alberto Parreira, the coach who led Brazil to the 1994 World Cup title,
was also leaving.
The confederation said Marin would give further explanations in a news
conference on Thursday.
Scolari, who led Brazil to the 2002 World Cup title, had said after
Brazils loss to the Netherlands that he would turn in a report of his
work with the national team and Marin would then analyze what he would
like to do.
Scolari publicly apologized to fans after the loss to Germany, saying he
knows it will never be forgotten, and defended his work with Brazil
since returning iin late 2012. Jim Cleamons Jersey.
In 29 matches, he led the nation to 19 wins, six draws and four losses.
Brazil won last years Confederations Cup, the World Cup warm-up
tournament.
"I dont think you can analyze the entire work based on only one
disastrous result," Scolari said after Brazils loss to the Dutch. "I
think the job was well done."
The once-popular coach was loudly booed by fans after Brazil ended the
home tournament on Saturday. Despite high expectations, Brazil struggled
throughout the competition, finishing with three wins, two draws and
two losses.
Scolari had been betting on young striker Neymar to carry the team to
the title, but he was shelved by a back injury in the quarterfinals.
Scolari was picked to lead the 2014 team mostly because of his
popularity and experience from the 2002 title, but many critics said he
was outdated as a coach. Before rejoining the national team, Scolari was
coming off relegation in the Brazilian league with traditional club
Palmeiras.
Among those touted to replace Scolari are Tite and Muricy Ramalho, who
have been successful with local clubs in recent years. Ramalho is a
four-time Brazilian champion, while Tite led popular Corinthians to the
Club World Cup title in 2012. There is also talk in local media about
international coaches, including Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho, and
Chiles Argentine coach Jorge Sampaoli.
Brazils next official tournament is the 2015 Copa America. The team is
expected to play four friendlies this year, the first one against
Colombia on Sept. 5 in Miami. It will also play Ecuador on Sept. 8 in
New York, Argentina on Oct. 11 in Beijing and Turkey on Nov. 12 in
Istanbul.
