World Cup winning coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has
left Uzbekistan side Bunyodkor to "help his son's university
education".
Scolari quit the club after a year in charge having failed to
achieve success in the Asian Champions League, the Uzbek side
losing to Saudi club Al Hilal in the last 16 earlier this
month.
"Main reason of leaving Uzbekistan is (I'm) concerned with my
son's studying," Scolari told the team's website
(www.fcbunyodkor.com) late on Friday.
"He just graduated from Tashkent International School and is
about to study in university. I need to support and help him now.
My family and children is most important for me."
The former Brazil, Portugal and Chelsea coach said that he would
not decide upon his next job until after his son's university place
was agreed.
"Maybe, my son won't wish to stay in Portugal, so I can't say
anything about my next work place," said Scolari, who admitted to
having offers from unnamed clubs in Europe, Brazil and Asia.
Scolari, who won the World Cup with Brazil in 2002 and reached
the final of Euro 2004 with Portugal, told Reuters on Monday that
the club was trying to reduce costs and had suggested cutting short
his contract, which was due to expire in December.
