Scolari hints at Chelsea move

Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has left the door open to a move to Chelsea.
At his Press conference yesterday, Scolari made an opening statement and said he was anticipating 'a certain question'.
As soon as he was asked if he was interested in the Chelsea job, the man who led Brazil to World Cup glory in 2002 snapped.
He said: "That is the question I wanted to answer at the end. I'm here as the Portugal squad coach and I'm going to work hard for them until the end of the Euro championship.
"What's going to happen to me after, I'm not going to talk about.
"If I decide to leave the squad or stay, I'm only going to make a public declaration at the end of the tournament."
Scolari's contract runs to the end of July and the Portuguese are convinced he will then end his five-and-a-half year reign.
He added: "I might sign again or I might leave. "
"It's a situation I'm going to examine closely and regardless of what happens I'm not going to answer this sort of question, I'm going to remain quiet.
"Ronaldo will say the same about his future. For now, my life goes around Euro 2008. After that, my life will go on."
