Former Brazil manager Luiz Felipe Scolari led Palmeiras to his country’s top-flight title last year.

World Cup-winning coach Luiz Felipe Scolari said he’s been declining requests to be the new Colombia coach, while the Colombian Football Federation maintained it has not been offering him the job.

Scolari said in a news conference on Tuesday the Colombian federation keeps approaching him to succeed Jose Pekerman, who left the job last year.

But Scolari said he wants to stay at Brazilian club Palmeiras.
