Sacked Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari is the new coach of Uzbekistan champions Bunyodkor.

Scolari has signed an 18-month contract with the club after leaving Stamford Bridge in February.

The 60-year-old, who won the World Cup with Brazil in 2002, succeeds compatriot Zico, who is now at CSKA Moscow.

Veteran Rivaldo, part of Brazil's 2002 World Cup winning team, plays for Bunyodkor.
