Scolari says he is not taking over Dunga's job

Johannesburg: Luiz Felipe Scolari is not planning to return for a second stint as coach of his native Brazil after its World Cup elimination but would like to lead a national team at the 2014 tournament in his homeland.

Coach Dunga has hinted he will not continue with Brazil following Friday's 2-1 quarterfinal loss to the Netherlands and the Brazilian federation is reportedly looking for a replacement.

Scolari led Brazil to the 2002 World Cup title and has been touted as a possible substitute but says his focus for the next two years will be with Brazilian club Palmeiras.

But he tells Brazil's Radio Eldorado in South Africa that "it would be wonderful to finish my career coaching a national team in the World Cup in Brazil."
