Greece coach Otto Rehhagel refused to comment on speculation on Sunday that he could be offered the Germany job and break his contract with the newly-crowned European champions.

Rehhagel, a German, renewed his contract with Greece until 2006 after winning automatic qualification for Euro 2004.

Germany, eager to field a strong team when they host the 2006 World Cup, are looking to replace Rudi Voeller who resigned following his team8217;s first round exit from the tournament.

8220;Today, at this moment, is a time only to talk about what the boys did,8221; he said minutes after Greece beat hosts Portugal 1-0 at the Luz Stadium to win the European trophy.

8220;It would be fatal to waste a single word on anything else. Tomorrow we will return to Greece and that8217;s all,8221; he said.
