Luiz Felipe Scolari has poured cold water on reports
linking him with a move to Chelsea.
World Cup-winning coach Scolari's stock is extremely high and he
has been repeatedly linked with a move into club management with
England.
Reports in the English press on Friday claimed he had been targeted
by Chelsea, but Scolari says he has no interest in leaving his post
with Portugal before Euro 2008.
"My desire is to be in Euro 2008 with Portugal," he told a press
conference in Belgium. "I have a deal with the Portugal federation
and this is my personal choice."
Scolari's agent Acaz Fellegger had been quoted as saying there had
been an enquiry from Chelsea, but he claims to have not spoken with
the English media for a number of months.
"I have not spoken with the English press since February so these
quotes which have been published are false," said Fellegger. "This
story is false.
"Scolari has the desire to take Portugal to Euro 2008."
