City set for Europe as Big Phil distances himself from Eastlands hot-seat
Friday, May 09, 2008
Manchester City look set for an unexpected place in next season's UEFA Cup.
The Football Association's been given an extra spot in the competition because English teams have topped UEFA's Fair Play league.
The FA's confirmed it'll go to the highest-ranked side in the Premier League fair play table that hasn't already qualified for Europe.
Meanwhile, Luiz Felipe Scolari's distancing himself from reports he could become Manchester City's new manager.
City owner Thaksin Shinawatra's expected to replace current boss Sven-Goran Eriksson this summer.
But the Portugal coach insists he's happy in his current role, and hasn't agreed to join City.
