Brazil has got to have the most anal FA in the world.
Quote:
SAO PAULO -- Luiz Felipe Scolari is expected to be named as the new Brazil coach, returning to the national team 10 years after leading the country to the 2002 World Cup title.
He would replace Mano Menezes, who was fired last week after Marin said he didn't like the coach's methods.
Others reportedly in the running for the job were Corinthians coach Tite, former Real Madrid coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo and Fluminense coach Abel Braga, who led his team to the Brazilian league title this year. Santos coach Muricy Ramalho, who turned down the Brazil job because of club commitments in 2010, reportedly was also in the running.
Marin fired Menezes saying he wanted the national team to head in a different direction. The coach led Brazil to 21 victories, six losses and six draws since replacing Dunga in 2010, but he was marked by disappointing results against traditional rivals such as Germany, France, Argentina and the Netherlands. He also failed to win the Copa America and failed to win Olympic gold, which is the only football trophy the five-time world champions haven't won. Sanchez, the former president of Brazilian club Corinthians, had criticized the president's decision to fire Menezes because the coach had already established his methods. Sanchez delivered his resignation letter to Marin on Tuesday.

Theres a name I havent heard in forever. Vanderlei Luxemburgo.
What a mess.
Anyways, I like Scolari when he coached Brazil the last time. Generally because the guy is downright insane.
