SCOLARI FOR SAUDI ARABIA?
Luiz Felipe Scolari may only have been sacked by Chelsea on Monday, but the Brazilan is already being lined up for the Saudi Arabia national job, according to the Arabian press.
The 60-year-old, who was dismissed after only seven months at Stamford Bridge, has already managed a national team in the Middle East - he had a spell with Kuwait in 1990 - and also took charge of club sides Al Qadisiya Kuwait and Saudi side Al-Ahli (Jeddah) in the early 1990s.
On Wednesday Saudi Arabia, currently coached by Nasser Al-Johar, lost 1-0 in their World Cup qualifier with North Korea - a result that leaves them fourth in their group, Asia Two, after four games.
Rumours are circulating in the Middle East that Al-Johar will be sacked and Scolari, who won the World Cup with Brazil in 2002, will be installed as the new manager. His job will be to steer the country to South Africa 2010.
