Scolari turns down Mexico

Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has turned down an approach to take over as national coach of Mexico, at least until after Euro 2008.
The Brazilian stated here Wednesday: "I received with pleasure an invitation from Mexico but for the moment my main objective is to do a good job with Portugal and take them as far as possible in Euro 2008."
Scolari, in comments reported by the Lusa news agency, added: "I have a deal with Portugal but I hope I'll be in a position to take a decision on my future soon."
Scolari took over as Portugal coach in January 2003 after leading Brazil to a fifth World Cup title in 2002.
