Q: What will be the destiny of the tecnico Zico in the near season?
Zico: That I still cannot answer, because it has not anything definite. I did not reach an agreement with the Fenerbahçe, I would have liked to continue that way, since I began a good work and again the club will dispute the Champions League. My exit of Turkey has not to do with financial problems, but of philosophy of work between the professionals whom I had taken there and who were working in Fener. Only I lament what they left to resolve the things in the final week. I wait to myself to continue in Europe.
Q: Is your way, then, in European club or up to a selection of Asia?
Z: I received invitation of two Asian selections for the argument of the Eliminations, did not accept them to myself, because it will catch a work in the middle of the way it is complicated. My wish itself is it of continuing in Europe. It is difficult, the market is complicated and, for the time being, I will wait for the best condition of work. I cannot take hurried decisions.
Z: About Benfica, there was the contact in the time in which I was in Fenerbahçe. Rui Aguas, leader of the club, called my lawyer and talked with him. But Rui Aguas it was in order that was substituted by Rui Costa, which would assume a post in the club. And there they did another option. The question of the Manchester City is the next thing: Carlos Roberto, ex-technico of the Botafogo, is their representative in Brazil and it indicated me. But only that. Nobody got in touch with me.
9日ー With more distant Zico, Inter stays between Tite and Dorival
The defeat before the Portuguesa in the last end of week increased the preoccupation of the directorship of the Inter around the choice of the new trainer of the team. With more distant Zico, the club is between Tite and Dorival Junior.
The name of Zico came being contemplated, but the ex-player of the Flamengo lost strength in Beira-Rio, since it waits for a proposal to continue in Europe after leaving the command of the Fenerbahce, of Turkey.
In this way, the argument is between Tite and Dorival Junior. The detail that is making the negotiations stick is the size of the technical commission. Junior's fact to be employed in the Coritiba also complicates. The directorship waits to announce the new technician up to Tuesday.
もういっちょ Another two speculated names are Nelsinho Baptista and Zico. Nelsinho has few chances since it did not leave many friends in Porto Alegre when it exchanged the Inter for the Corinthians in 1996. Zico is a name offered by the businessman Jorge Machado. The ex-trainer of the Fenerbahce was not picked by the Manchester City and it looks for team, of preference, from abroad.

Zico parts way with Turks by Joseph Caron Dawe, 10 June 2008
Fenerbahce have parted ways with coach Zico after failing to come to an agreement over a new contract with the Brazilian. The 55-year-old has been widely tipped as a candidate in the race to take over the vacant managerial role at Chelsea, and the Turkish side’s confirmation of his exit from the Sukru Saracoglu on Tuesday morning appears to have added further weight to such speculation. The Turkish press have reported that Zico had made clear his intentions to leave the club before the breakdown in contract negotiations. Now the club have officially confirmed that the former Brazil international, who took over in the summer of 2006, has left. "We've parted ways with Zico. We know who the new coach is. We will sign an agreement in Istanbul next week," Aziz Yildirim, Fener’s chairman, was quoted as saying by Turkish news broadcaster NTV.
Brazilian Zico has emerged as a strong candidate to become Chelsea's new manager after he parted ways with Turkish side Fenerbahce. The 55-year-old has been linked with the post in the past, but the fact he has now departed Fenerbahce after failing to come to an agreement over a new contract, has thrust him back among the frontrunners for the Stamford Bridge hot seat.
