Former Chelsea boss Felipe Scolari will not be leaving Uzbek side Bunyodkor for Italian giants Juventus if the Old Lady decided to sack Ciro Ferrara. Juve have suffered five defeats in their last six outings between Serie A and the Champions League and the Neapolitan tactician could be shown the door in the new year if he fails to turn things around. Scolari has been linked with the Stadio Olimpico job in the Italian press over the past few days, but the 61-year-old has insisted he remains committed to Bunyodkor and wants to honor his contract. �Coach Felipe Scolari won�t be departing Bunyodkor before the natural expiry date of his deal which is set for December 2010,� reads an official statement released by Globoesporte. �The tactician is currently on holiday in Brazil and will return for the start of pre-season training with the objective of winning the Asian Cup next year.� Scolari penned an 18-month deal with the Uzbek club last June which is worth �16 million a year.
