Which coach led Brazil to their fifth FIFA World Cup title in 2002?

Luiz Felipe Scolari led Brazil to their fifth FIFA World Cup title in 2002.

Scolari became Brazil's manager in June 2001, when the team faced an unusually difficult qualification campaign. He imposed a disciplined, physically assertive style and made several controversial selection decisions, most notably leaving veteran striker Romário out of the World Cup squad.

Brazil won all seven of its matches at the 2002 tournament, defeating Germany 2–0 in the final at Yokohama International Stadium. Ronaldo scored both goals and finished as the tournament's leading scorer with eight. Captain Cafu lifted the trophy as Brazil became the first nation to win five World Cups, following titles in 1958, 1962, 1970, and 1994.

The main historical mix-up is Carlos Alberto Parreira, who coached Brazil to its fourth World Cup in 1994. Scolari's 2002 side is often remembered as the “Three Rs” team because of Ronaldo, Rivaldo, and Ronaldinho, though the squad's defensive organization was equally important to its perfect record.
