City boss Manuel Pellegrini has turned down the Brazil job, according to reports.

The 2014 World Cup hosts are searching for a new manager after Luiz Felipe Scolari resigned following a disappointing end to their tournament.

Brazil were thrashed 7-1 by eventual winners Germany in the semi-finals, before losing 3-0 to Netherlands in the third-place play-off.

Scolari subsequently resigned from his post on Monday, bringing an end to his second spell in charge of A Seleção .

And Chilean outlet El Mercurio believe Pellegrini was one of the managers under consideration as a potential successor.

However, they report that the Blues manager is not interested in leaving the Etihad Stadium and intends to honour his contract.
