TOKYO, Japan (Reuters) -- Brazil's World Cup captain Dunga
announced on Saturday his playing days in Japan were over and he
would play his final match in the J-League competition next
Saturday.
The 35-year-old Dunga will make his final appearance for
Jubilo Iwata after four years in the J-League.
"I'm going to make up my mind about my next destination
after taking some rest," Dunga said after Iwata's 2-1
extra-time loss to Kashima Antlers on Saturday.
Dunga, who captained Brazil to the 1994 World Cup, led his
side to the runner up position in this year's World Cup and said
he has received offers from several European and South American
clubs.
Iwata officials told reporters that the club has no plan to
change Dunga's mind by renewing his contract which expires at
the end of the present season.
Dunga said he planned to return home to Brazil before
deciding on where he would play next.
He joined Iwata in 1995 and his charismatic leadership
helped the club to last year's league crown.
