Saurez offered fresh contract

Published June 19, 2006

BAD KISSINGEN, June 18: Luis Suarez's success in steering unheralded South American side Ecuador to an historic second round place has earned him an offer of a new four year contract it was learnt on Saturday.

The 46-year-old Colombian said that he would look at it after the World Cup campaign was over.

“There is an offer on the table, in principle, on the part of Luis Chiriboga, the president of the Ecuadorean Football Federation, for me to continue in the post for the next four years,” revealed Suarez, who has been in the job since September 2004.

“For the moment I am not going to let that preoccupy me. I am not going to let my future distract me at the moment.—AFP
