Table of Contents
Former Chelsea boss Luiz Felipe Scolari has been named as coach of Uzbekistan league leaders and Asian Champions League quarter-finalists Bunyodkor.
The 60-year-old Brazilian, who was sacked by the Blues in February, signed an 18-month contract on Tuesday.
"Uzbek football now creates its own success story, especially Bunyodkor with its remarkable dynamism and prospects for the past four years," said Scolari on the club's official website.
"I know that I am in the right place at the right time and in the right team.
"I like the way the club is taking on a new reality. It offers me a project similar to ones which were very fulfilling for me before."
Scolari succeeds fellow Brazilian Zico, who guided Bunyodkor to the league and cup double and Asian Champions League semi-finals last year before quitting in December to take over CSKA Moscow.
