Scolari to step down in 2008
Eurosport has reported that the Portuguese Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari will step down after the Euro 2008 tournament.
Scolari has been a successful coach in his time havn taken Portugal to the finals in 2004 and the semi-finals of the World Cup in 2006.
Scolari said about his decisions:
"The work of a coach is limited to five or six years, and it's only logical that I should stop after Euro 2008," he told Portuguese magazine Record.
Scolari became Portugal Manager in 2003 after taking Brazil to fifth World Cup victory. He became the target of the English FA in the summer of 2006 but signed a new contract with his current employers and now leaves the press to speculate over his next challenge - with probably every Premiership chairman interested in his signature, it'll prove to an interesting couple of years for the man from Brazil.
