“Scolari” takes over the training of Brazilian Atletico Mineiro

The former coach of the Brazilian national team, Luiz Felipe Scolari, decided to return from retirement, to agree to take over the coaching task of the Brazilian team, Atletico Mineiro, until December 2024, to succeed Argentine coach Eduardo Codete.

Earlier, the Brazilian network “Globo Sport” stated that Scolari closed the doors to Brazilian clubs, stressing that Saudi Arabia pays well.

The former samba coach indicated that he had received an offer from a club in the Middle East at the end of last May, without revealing the name of the club.
