Neymar's agent hits out at "arrogant, repulsive" Brazil boss Luiz Felipe Scolari

Neymar's agent slams "repulsive" Scolari

Neymar's agent Wagner Ribeiro has unleashed a tirade against Brazil manager Luiz Felipe Scolari following their humiliating World Cup exit on home soil.

Brazil suffered one of their worst defeats in history when Germany secured an emphatic 7-1 victory in Belo Horizonte on Tuesday night to send themselves into the final on Sunday.

Neymar was unable to play a role in the match after fracturing a vertebra in his back during Brazil's quarter-final win over Colombia, which ruled him out of the tournament.

After Brazil's exit, Ribeiro took to social media to sarcastically list the criteria needed to be manager of the national side.

He wrote: "One - being Portugal coach and winning nothing. Two - going to Chelsea and being sacked the following day.

"Three - going to coach in Uzbekistan. Four - returning to Brazil, taking over a big team (Palmeiras) and getting them relegated to the second division.

"Five - leaving the club 56 days before the end of the Brasileirao (season) to 'escape' relegation. Six - being an old jerk, arrogant, repulsive, conceited and ridiculous."

Scolari is preparing his side for Saturday's third-place playoff.
