RIO DE JANEIRO, July 14, 2014 (AFP) : Brazil's football confederation will not renew the contract of national coach Luiz Felipe Scolari, local media reported on Monday, after the five-time World Cup winners were mauled by Germany in a humiliating 7-1 defeat on home soil.
News of Scolari's fate broke just after midnight Sunday, hours after Germany defeated Argentina 1-0 in Rio de Janeiro to win the 2014 World Cup.
Brazilians had long been hoping that they would be playing in the final and would likely win the tournament.
