"It's over. I don't have any offers, but it's over," said the Brazilian, who took over the team on May 23.

"It's good for my family, it's good for my son and he can be proud of his father."

Vieira has been linked with the vacancy at South Korea, whose former coach Pim Verbeek stood down after their third-place finish in the competition.

Rather than looking to the future, however, 54-year-old Vieira highlighted the importance of the win to the people of war-torn Iraq.

"I wish that we could help Iraq and that this could be the transport to help them," he said.

"I'm very proud because it is very good when you can do good things. I didn't just win the Asian Cup, I did something good for the country by winning the Asian Cup.

"What we have done in this competition is help the country and it's very important for the Iraq people what we did for them."

Vieira paid tribute to his players, who had to overcome the emotional challenge of playing in the game just days after more than 50 football fans were killed by several car bombs in Mosul.

The supporters were celebrating Iraq's penalty shootout win over South Korea when the explosions went off, and as a mark of respect Vieira and his team wore black armbands on Sunday to commemorate the dead.

"The Iraq players are fantastic people and you have to understand the difficulties," he said.

"They have had this situation for the past years and they have fantastic power inside themselves.

"They are hard workers with extra power to do whatever we want. We were working and shouting and fighting and complaining and shouting again, but they support everything and now we have come to the final and we are champions.

"I learned a lot from these people, it was a good learning process for me and something I will keep forever in my life."
