Bilic still in line for Man City job

Manchester City will turn their attention to Croatia manager Slaven Bilic if they fail to land Luiz Felipe Scolari as their new manager.

Bilic signed a new two-year deal with Croatia, that will take him up to the 2010 World Cup, last week.

Yet Undercover Sport understands that he is still very interested in the City job - and they are still interested in him.

Uber agent Pini Zahavi is acting as an intermediary between Bilic and City's power brokers, Shinawatra and his right-hand man, Jack Srisumrid.

Bilic was a guest of Zahavi's at last week's Champions League semi-final between Chelsea and Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.

The Croatian Football Federation will not stand in Bilic's way if he is offered the City job and would stand to receive significant compensation.
