Luiz Felipe Scolari, ambaye aliiongoza Brazil kunyakua taji lake la mwisho la Kombe la Dunia 2002 na kuipeleka Ureno hadi fainali ya Ubingwa wa Uropa mnamo 2004, amethibitisha kustaafu ukufunzi wa Soka.
Mbrazil huyo mwenye umri wa miaka 74 aliaga baada ya ushindi wa nyumbani wa Athletico wa 3-0 Jumapili dhidi ya Botafogo katika raundi ya mwisho ya michuano ya Brazil. Ushindi huo uliifanya timu hiyo kushika nafasi ya sita na kufuzu kwa Copa Libertadores mwaka ujao.
“Haya yamekuwa maisha yangu. Ninamaliza sura hii vizuri sana,” Scolari mwenye hisia kali alisema baada ya mechi.
Scolari alisema anatarajia kurejea Athletico mwakani katika nafasi ya utendaji lakini hatakuwa na jukumu la kuinoa timu tena.
=============
colari, whose former clubs include Chelsea, has been talking about ending his coaching career since August.
As well as his World Cup title with Brazil, Scolari’s Portugal was beaten by Greece in the final of Euro 2004. A career low point came when Germany humiliated tournament host Brazil 7-1 in the semifinals of the 2014 World Cup.
Scolari unexpectedly took Athletico to the Copa Libertadores final, with the southern Brazil team losing to Flamengo in the decider on Oct. 29. He was initially signed to work as a technical director at the club.
“I lived everything I never expected to live in soccer,” Scolari said Sunday. “And I finish it today.”
