Brazil's 2002 World Cup-winning manager Luiz Felipe Scolari could leave Gremio to coach in China, according to media reports.
Scolari has more than two years left on his Gremio contract but local
news portal Uol said on Saturday that the Brazilian top-flight club
could be willing to let the 66-year-old go.
The report followed a Twitter post from Brazilian journalist Joao Garcia, a close friend of Scolari, on Friday.
"The Chinese are chasing Felipao and have made multimillion-dollar
proposals," Garcia said on the social media platform. "Win or lose the
[Rio Grande do Sul] state championship, he will leave."
Scolari joined Gremio in August, just weeks after being sacked as
Brazil coach following the the team's 7-1 World Cup semifinal defeat to Germany.
