Reports in Brazil claim that Luiz Felipe Scolari agrees to take charge of Brazil for the second time in his career.

Luiz Felipe Scolari will reportedly be confirmed as coach of the Brazilian national team for a second time tomorrow.

The 64-year-old previously guided the Yellows to the 2002 World Cup during his two-year stint at the helm.

Now, with the position vacant following the sacking of Mano Menezes, reports in Brazil have claimed that an agreement between Scolari and the Football Association has been reached.

CBF president Jose Maria Marin has confirmed that he has chosen a new coach, but declined to give a name.

"We did a thorough evaluation and what we need is someone with the right skills, dedication and experience," said Marin. "I am absolutely certain that the fans will be happy with our choice.

"Pressure will be great at the World Cup, and that's understandable, and we need someone who can cope with that. We need everyone to get behind the new coach."

Scolari has most recently been in charge of Palmeiras.
