Scolari Faces Tax Probe

Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari is the subject of a criminal investigation, according to Portuguese authorities.

Reports from Portugal say the ‘Selecao’ head coach will face criminal investigation, as he denies tax evasion.

Scolari said in a statement he has “always declared my earnings in all the countries I worked in”.
