The coach of Brazil's national football team, Luiz Felipe Scolari, is to face a criminal investigation, reports from Portugal say, as he denies tax evasion.

Mr Scolari coached Portugal's national team from 2003 to 2008. The allegations are believed to be connected to his time there.

In a statement, Mr Scolari said he had "always declared my earnings in all the countries I worked in".

The allegations come less than a month before the start of the World Cup.

The attorney general's office in Portugal confirmed a criminal investigation had been opened but gave no further details, the Associated Press news agency said.

"I am absolutely convinced of the correctness of my declarations. If there is something wrong, it is not of my doing," Mr Scolari's statement reads.
