Scolari voices Asian ambition

RIO DE JANEIRO - Guangzhou Evergrande manager Luiz Felipe Scolari said he would like to coach an Asian team at a World Cup finals.

Scolari led Brazil to the 2002 World Cup title and was again in charge when the Selecao crashed 7-1 to Germany in the 2014 World Cup semifinal.

"I've already coached the national team twice. I did the best I could and now the national team has new goals, a new direction, a new coach," Scolari said in an interview with the Folha de S.Paulo newspaper on Sunday.
