Scolari Withdraws Application
Updated: 18:03, Friday April 28, 2006

Luiz Felipe Scolari has withdrawn his application for the England job.

Mr Scolari, 57, pulled out because of intense media pressure, he said.

The Portuguese team manager added he was no longer pursuing the position of England coach because he has reopened talks with his current team.

Bollocking and massive pressure from the Portuguese FA for touting whilst in a job? Imagine if Sven did that

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Mr Scolari, 57, pulled out because of intense media pressure, he said.

Top man!

He's got English football well and truly sussed.

And he's wise enough to steer clear of Murdoch's plaything.

Deffinatly no scolari

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/4955490.stm

Luiz Felipe Scolari appears to have ruled himself out of taking over as England coach after the World Cup.

But following his remarks in Portuguese at a news conference in Germany there is still some confusion as to whether he has definitively rejected the job.

"The English FA is going to choose a name. My name isn't one of them because I'm closing this matter here," he said.

"I was very pleased they considered me, but definitely at this time I want to draw a line under this matter."

Why is there confusion? That sounds like a clear enough no to me?!
