¨Big Phil¨ Denies England Job Interview...

Felipe Scolari has denied speaking to the English Football Association regarding a possible move into the England Managers job, after the World Cup finals in Germany this summer.


Scolari, affectionately known as ¨Big Phil¨ on the European scene, is currently Manager of the Portuguese national side.

As ever, Philo was the perfect diplomat, He told a reporter...

¨I am coach of Portugal and I am only thinking and speaking about Portugal until the last day of the World Cup."

but his agent; Acaz Felleger, was much less cagey, when he told a reporter:

"He just needs to do a good World Cup and after this he might talk about his future. ¨

He continued...

"If the FA are really interested to sign him they should have been focused on their work for the World Cup like Felipe Scolari is at the moment. ¨

Of course, agent Felleger, neither confirmed nor denied the rumours - leaving the door of speculation ever so slightly ajar.

It would be a huge coup if England could bag Scolari, he has a mightily impressive curriculum vitae. But the word on the street is that the England fans want a home grown manager...


Will England go Brazilian ? Will Beckam become one of Big Phils Samba boys ? We shall have to wait and see...
