Luiz Felipe Scolari will reportedly step down as the head coach of Brazil following the conclusion of Saturday's World Cup third-place playoff.

The 65-year-old's future has been called into question in the wake of his side's 7-1 defeat at the hands of Germany last night.

He remains in the position for now, but numerous reports in Brazil have suggested that he will leave the role at the weekend.

The loss was the first that Brazil had suffered on home soil in 12 years.
