Rehhagel to honour his contract with Greece

GERMAN coach Otto Rehhagel will honour his contract with European champions Greece through to the 2006 World Cup, Greek football chief Vassilis Gagatsis revealed.

"Rehhagel will stay with the Greek Football Federation (EPO) until 2006," said Gagatsis, dismissing reports that 65-year-old Rehhagel, who was hired in 2001, had agreed to prolong his contract until 2008.

"On the flight back from Portugal, I offered him to extend the contract until 2008 and he told me that he didn't want to be transported into the football ground on a wheelchair," he said.
