Scolari pulls out of England job race
Hatem Maher Published in FilGoal on 28 - 04 - 2006

Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has ruled himself out of becoming England coach after the World Cup finals in Germany, BBC reported on Friday.
"The English FA is going to choose a name. My name isn't one of them because I'm closing this matter here," Scolari told a press conference in Germany.
"I was very pleased they considered me, but definitely at this time I want to draw a line under this matter," he added.
Scolari, who guided Brazil to the 2002 World Cup glory, was strongly linked with the England job recently after FA chief executive Brian Barwick traveled to Lisbon on Wednesday to open negotiations with the Portuguese boss.
The 57-year-old said he was shocked by the English media coverage since his name has been mentioned in England's job race, as they made an intrusion in his own personal life.
"I don't want anything more to do with this England matter because in the space of two days... my life was invaded, my privacy was disrupted," he said.
"There are 20 reporters outside my house now. If that is part of another culture, it is not part of my culture. I am not the coach, and will not be (England's) coach," he added.
Scolari's contract with the Portugal runs out after the World Cup, which kicks-off on the ninth of June.
"I am committed to the Portuguese FA until the end of the World Cup and maybe longer," the Portuguese said.
"In the last few days when I was not even the manager of England my freedom was taken away from me and that is not the coaching I am used to," he added.
The English FA said Scolari's announcement came as no surprise, stating that they will consider their position before making any comment.
"Luiz Felipe Scolari this afternoon made the FA aware of his intention to release a statement regarding the England head coach position," said a statement carried by the FA website.
"It is no secret that Mr Scolari is one of the candidates that the FA has spoken to as part of the recruitment process. We will now reflect on his announcement before making any further comment as we move forward with the process."
