LUIZ Felipe Scolari is 5/2 to become the next Brazilian boss, according to Ladbrokes.
The current Portuguese manager, who won the world cup with the South Americans in 2002, could be in line to replace the outgoing Carlos Alberto Parreira.
Ladbrokes spokesman, Nick Weinberg, said: "The Brazilian job is one of the most demanding in world football, where second place just isn't good enough. Big Phil has his critics in his homeland as he doesn't adopt a traditionally Brazilian free flowing approach to football.
"But you can't argue with his pedigree. He might be tempted by a move back to South America and after their poor showing in Germany, Brazil will be glad to have him."
Brazil are 4/1 favourites to win the 2010 world cup in South Africa.
