Scolari offered England job!

So, according to The Guardian and a few other sources, Brian Barwick travelled to Portugal yesterday to offer Big Phil the job.

Luiz Felipe Scolari, also known as Felipão ('Big Phil'), was the first foreign coach ever to lead any team to the final of a European Championships with Portugal in 2004, and won the World Cup with Brazil in 2002.

Domestically he has an impressive record too - he won Brazilian Cup in 1991 with Criciúma.

He won the Brazilian Cup (1994), Libertadores da América (1995), Runner-up in the Toyota Cup (World Club Cup), The Recopa (1995), The Brazilian Championship (1996) all with Grêmio.

According to Wikipedia, he's also a Nottingham Forest fan...
