Brazil's new technical football director Carlos Alberto Parreira (R) speaks during a press conference next to the President of the Brazilian Football Confederation Jose Maria Marin (C) and the new coach of the national team Luiz Felipe Scolari in Rio de Janeiro on November 29, 2012. Brazil officially announced Scolari as their coach to lead them through to the 2014 World Cup finals on home soil, replacing Mano Menezes, sacked last week. The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) named 2002 World Cup winner Scolari for a second spell at the helm as he targets a sixth world title with the auriverde in 18 months time, using next year's Confederations Cup, also in Brazil, as a springboard. Carlos Alberto Parreira, who managed Brazil's successful 1994 World Cup campaign in the United States, will serve as Scolari's technical assistant. AFP PHOTO / CBF - ANDREW RICARDO
