Luiz Felipe Scolari says he’d be keen to sign a new deal that would see him stay on as Portugal manager up to the 2010 World Cup.

“The decision to stay on or not is down to the (Portuguese Football) Federation. If it was left to me I’d reply that I’d do it without any problem,” the Brazilian told AFP at a press conference here Friday.

“I love Portugal even more than Brazil. I have a really good life here. My family loves this country. If I were to move it’s by no means certain I’d find the same conditions elsewhere.”

Scolari took control of Portugal in 2003, six months after leading Brazil to a fifth World Cup, with his current deal ending after Euro 2008.

Under Big Phil’s guidance hosts Portugal made it to the Euro 2004 final only to lose to Greece.

He then masterminded Portugal’s run to the semi-finals of the 2006 World Cup for the first time in 40 years.
