‘Scolari is arrogant, repulsive, conceited and ridiculous’ - Neymar’s agent hits out at Brazil manager

Neymar’s agent Wagner Ribeiro has launched a stinging attack on Luiz Felipe Scolari as the fallout from Brazil’s World Cup exit continues.

The Barcelona striker missed the humiliating 7-1 defeat to Germany through injury, but his representative hit out at the Selecao boss on Twitter with an ironic list of ‘six requirements to be Brazilian coach.’

The agent pulled no punches in his withering assessment of Scolari, and tweeted that if Scolari was able to manage the national side, then the requirements to coach Brazil are: “One – being Portugal Coach and winning nothing. Two – going to Chelsea and being sacked the following day.

“Three – going to coach in Uzbekistan. Four – returning to Brazil, taking over a big team [Palmeiras] and getting them relegated to the second division.

“Five – leaving the club 56 days before the end of the Brasileirao [season] to ‘escape’ relegation.

“Six – being an old jerk, arrogant, repulsive, conceited and ridiculous,” he finished in brutal fashion.
