Brazil’s last World Cup-winning coach Luiz Felipe Scolari will return to lead the national soccer team following the dismissal of Mano Menezes.
Scolari, 64, was in charge when Brazil beat Germany 2-0 to secure a record fifth title in Japan in 2002, and will return, newspaper Estado de Sao Paulo said, without citing anyone. The Brazilian soccer federation fired Menezes on Nov. 23, and said it will hold a press conference tomorrow. Federation spokesman Rodrigo Paiva declined to confirm that Scolari would take over.
