Brazil appoint Phil Scolari as coach.

What's the reaction in brazil been like to this news?

Everyone was just super shocked! It has been a rollercoaster of emotions.

The timing was awful. I mean, Mano was a bad manager, but if we were going to sack him, why didnt we do it after the American Cup or the Olympics? He had finally found a decent lineup (Neymar, Kaka, Oscar and Hulk).

After the inicial rage, we realised Guardiola was available. Football fans and the Media got really excited with the possibility of him being our coach in 2014. Pep even said on a newspaper that Brazil would be the only team he would actually accept before his sabatical year. However, our ancient directors of CBF decided that they wouldnt be the first ones to anounce a foreign coach, specially in a WC at home. Well, then they chose Scolari because the general public loves him. He did win our last WC at least, so they view him as some sort of savior/legend.

The die hard fans obviously hated it, but the general public thinks he will replicate 2002. The problem is that we have grown such an obligation to win this, that things are going to get bad if we dont. Some might view it as a overreaction, it is not. Brazilians are genuinely expecting it.

By now, everyone have realised it was a political decison. Mano was appointed by Andres Sanchez (CBF Director of Football and Former Corinthians Chairman) and Andres was having a different view than Jose Maria Marin (CBF President) and Marco Polo Del Nero (CBF Vice President). To attack Sanchez, they both decided to fire Mano...

Marco Polo Del Nero is an epic name. It's a single i away from being godlike - Marco Polo Del Niro

Oh yeah, this is about scolari... well good luck with that, but he should be an international manager, shouldn't he? his club record sucks tho.
