Scolari was widely reported to have been approached by FA officials last weekend after taking part in a conference in London.

But the 57-year-old Brazilian -- who guided his homeland to success in the 2002 World Cup -- has denied any talks have taken place.

"If I had to deny everything that had been written about my future I wouldn't be doing anything else in the next few months," Scolari said.

"I was in London on Friday for a conference with Bobby Robson. I arrived at 11 in the morning, I went to the meeting site, we had a meeting with business people and it was all over by five in the afternoon.

"I got another taxi to the airport to go back to Lisbon. It is foolishness and makes sense only if the FA chief executive was the taxi driver."

England are looking for a new manager after Sven-Goran Eriksson's decision to step down after the World Cup.
