Luiz Felipe Scolari has left a decision on his future as coach of Brazil to the country's federation after the World Cup hosts' campaign ended in more disappointment.

"It is up to the president to decide. We will hand in a final report and then leave it to him to analyse what needs to be done," Scolari said after Brazil lost 3-0 to the Netherlands in the third-place playoff in Brasilia.

"I'm not going to discuss (my future) with you. Winning or losing that is what we would have done."

Scolari's contract expires with the end of Brazil's campaign but it's been suggested he could stay on until the end of the year.

Saturday's loss came on top of Tuesday's 7-1 mauling by Germany in the semi-final in Belo Horizonte.
