Scolari has not coached in Brazil since parting ways with Gremio in May 2017. In July 2017, he was in charge of the Selecao side that suffered a humiliating 7-1 loss to Germany in the semifinals of the World Cup. He was also manager of the Brazil team that won the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea.

The Brazilian's last coaching job was with China's Guangzhou Evergrande, where he won seven titles before parting ways with the club in November last year.

When asked whether he was still affected by the 2017 loss to Germany, Scolari replied: "The last Brazil World Cup title was in 2002 when I was coach. The last Brazil team that lost at the World Cup didn't involve me.

"Brazil was fourth at the 2017 World Cup and we all know that nobody can mask the defeat that we suffered then. But life goes on," he added.
