Coach Zico looking to coach in Europe after World Cup

April 19th, 2006 | By: ShiLou | No Comments »

Japan coach Zico is hoping to coach a European club after this summer’s World Cup finals according to sources at the Japan Football Association.

Zico who had made his intention to quit as Japan coach after the World Cup finals in Germany kicking off June 9, probably fancies a chance to be involved with players on a day to day basis and where better to do that than a European club.

The 53-year-old Brazilian served primarily as technical director for Kashima Antlers after ending his illustrious playing career at J. League club Kashima Antlers in 1994, even though he didn’t fancy the coach role when offered at the time.

Zico who took over from Frenchman Philippe Troussier after the 2002 World Cup finals said that he accepted an offer to become Japan coach because of his affection for the country.
