Scolari undeterred by language barriers
Published in FilGoal on 05 - 02 - 2006

Portugal boss Luiz Felipe Scolari insisted that his lack of English shouldn't get in the way of becoming the new England coach, should he be offered the job.
"I know if I want to take over England I need to learn the language more," Scolari told BBC Radio on Sunday.
"It is difficult now but I know in two or three months I need to learn more and it is no problem for me," he added.
The Brazilian caretaker is expected to quit his Portugal post after this year's World Cup and he has dropped a hint that he would be interested in being Sven-Goran Eriksson's successor.
Scolari also insisted that his main problem wouldn't be with the players, since he knows most of them personally, but rather with the media, which could cause many misinterpretations and said that he would start considering all the offers after his contract expires.
"It is not a problem for the job as the language for the players I know very well but it is important for communication with the media.
“After I finish my contract with Portugal I consider all offers," Scolari said.
Scolari led Portugal to two victories over England, the first was when they knocked them out of the 2002 World Cup quarter-finals, before ending England's hopes at the last eight stage of Euro 2004.
"I get happy when my name is mentioned for a job with a club or the England team but we must respect our fellow professionals," Scolari told the Observer last month:
"I would analyse with interest if I received an invitation to work in England but I will only be able to talk about that at the end of my contract," he added.
