"Big Phil" Scolari has stood down as manager of Brazil after a poor showing at the World Cup. Brazil were defeated by Germany 7-1 in the semi-finals, leaving many fans unhappy with their country's performance at the event.
After a miserable 3-0 defeat to Holland in the semi-finals, Brazil decided against renewing their agreement with Scolari, whose deal was set to expire in July.
"Luiz Felipe Scolari and his fellow coaching staff surrendered their positions to the board," the CBF said in a statement.
"Scolari and his entire coaching staff deserve our respect and gratitude.
"They were responsible for returning to the Brazilian people your love for the national team, despite not having achieved our greatest goal."
