Scolari Abandons Team

Former Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari was accused of unprofessional conduct this weekend after he abandoned his Gremio side before the end of their 1-0 home defeat by lowly Veranopolis. An angry Felipao, as he is known in Brazil, left the dugout and walked to the dressing room with four minutes still left in the game. "I sent myself off," he told reporters after Gremio's third defeat in four matches. "There was nothing more I could do so I went to the dressing room.”
