Luiz Felipe Scolari the first victim of a terrible campaign.
According to reports, Brazil has opted not to renew national soccer team coach Luiz Felipe Scolari's contract after its embarrassing final two games at the 2014 World Cup.
The coach nicknamed "Felipao" or "Big Phil" led the side to its worst ever World Cup performance with a 7-1 loss to Germany in the semi-final.
It was followed up with a 3-0 loss to The Netherlands in the third place play-off.
