Australia looks to Scolari
AUSTRALIA has approached World Cup winning coach Luiz Felipe Scolari about leading it to the 2018 tournament in Russia, the former Brazil and Portugal boss has said.
Scolari, who recently ended a two-and-a-half year stint with Guangzhou Evergrande in China, said the Socceroos had spoken with his agent about him replacing Ange Postecoglou, who resigned in November.
“I am one of the names they spoke with... to see if I was interested in taking them to the World Cup,” Scolari said in an exclusive interview yesterday.
Scolari said he was happy to discuss a role with the Australians, but would want it to be long-term, not just for the June-July 2018 tournament.
“I don’t intend in just taking a team to the World Cup,” the former Chelsea manager added. “I intend on leading a team with an organized project for one or two years. But I am interested.”
Postecoglou quit a week after securing Australia’s spot.
