Bianchi rejects to become Mexico's America soccer club coach

BUENOS AIRES, May 2 (Xinhua) -- Argentine coach Carlos Bianchi on Friday rejected a million-U.S.-dollar offer to coach America soccer club (Mexico), and said he will stay in Buenos Aires because he has "other priorities".

Bianchi admitted he "always" wants "to work" although "I am currently very calm here and I will stay in Buenos Aires".

America's former coach Ruben Romano resigned after losing 2-4 against Flamengo of Brazil in Copa Libertadores and America soccer club's heads offered Bianchi two million dollars annually to head the Mexican team.

Bianchi, 59, has won many soccer titles with Argentine soccer teams, including Velez Sarsfield and Boca Juniors.

Meanwhile, Bianchi stated on Friday during the press conference at a hotel in Buenos Aires that the best soccer player in the world currently is Portuguese native Cristiano Ronaldo, playing for Manchester United of England.

Bianchi also said that Boca "continues to be the favorite" to win Copa Libertadores, although Brazil's Sao Paulo club and Argentine soccer clubs River Plate and San Lorenzo also have winning chances.
