Carlos Alberto Parreira has resigned as coach of Brazil.

Parreira met with Brazilian Football Federation (CBF) president Ricardo Teixeira today and news of his decision to stand down came shortly afterwards.

The 63-year-old led Brazil to World Cup glory in 1994 in his second spell in charge but his third was less successful, his side bowing out of the 2006 World Cup at the quarter-final stage.
