World Cup-winning boss Luiz Felipe Scolari takes charge of the Samba Boys again

Brazil have appointed Luiz Felipe Scolari as their new coach.

The 64-year-old will lead the five-time World Cup winners into their home tournament in 2014 after the Brazilian Football Confederation announced him as the replacement for the sacked Mano Menezes.

Scolari led Brazil to their last World Cup success in 2002 and left his position in charge of Palmeiras earlier this year.

The former Chelsea boss has plenty of top-level international experience, having led Portugal at the 2006 World Cup and 2004 and 2008 European Championships.

And you  will have the chance to see how Scolari’s Brazil team is shaping up at first hand when they take on England at Wembley Stadium on 6 February.

That glamorous match forms part of The Football Association’s 150th anniversary celebrations, with 90,000 passionate fans expected to fill the national stadium.

Tickets for the clash go on sale on 7 December – click here for full details
