We study the variable-range hopping (VRH) of bosons in an array of sites with short-range interactions and a large characteristic coordination number. The latter leads to strong quantum interference phenomena yet allows for their analytical study. We develop a functional renormalization group scheme that repeatedly eliminates high-energy sites properly renormalizing the tunnelling between the low-energy ones. Using this approach we determine the temperature and magnetic field dependence of the hopping conductivity and find a large positive magnetoresistance. With increasing magnetic field the behaviour of the conductivity crossovers from the Mott's law to an activational behaviour with the activation gap proportional to the magnetic field.
