"Luiz Felipe Scolari and his fellow coaching staff surrendered their positions to the board," the CBF said in a statement.
"Scolari and his entire coaching staff deserve our respect and gratitude.
"They were responsible for returning to the Brazilian people your love for the national team, despite not having achieved our greatest goal."
Scolari's contract was set to expire after the tournament, but the CBF vice-president Marco Polo del Nero last week offered the manager his full backing following the humiliating defeat to Germany.
However, Scolari himself had offered no assurances about his position in the wake of what he called "the worst day of my life".
But after spells in charge of Portugal, Premier League side Chelsea, Bunyodkor of Uzbekistan and Brazilian club Palmeiras, he resumed control of the national team in 2012.
Brazil hosted and won the Confederations Cup in 2013, beating Spain 3-0 in the final, and were favourites to win a sixth World Cup.
They finished top of their group after two wins and a draw from their three matches, before edging past Chile on penalties in the last 16.
They beat Colombia 2-1 in the quarter-finals, but lost top goalscorer Neymar to a spine injury and captain Thiago Silva to suspension.
Scolari described the defeat as "the worst day of his life" and asked for forgiveness from the Brazilian people.
