Chelsea job will be 'hell' says Luiz Felipe Scolari
Working under Roman Abramovich will be "hell" for the next Chelsea manager, according to former Blues boss Luiz Felipe Scolari.
Abramovich is looking for his eighth permanent manager since 2003 after sacking Andre Villas-Boas on Sunday.
"It will be hell for whoever succeeds him," said Scolari, who spent seven months at Chelsea in 2008-09.
"[The sacking] is strange - although it's not so strange to me because of what I went through there."
Scolari, who won the World Cup with Brazil in 2002, arrived at Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2008.
In September of the previous year, Jose Mourinho, winner of successive Premier League titles with the Blues, had left Stamford Bridge to be replaced by Avram Grant, who was sacked despite taking Chelsea to the Champions League final.
Brazilian Scolari was then removed after only 36 games in charge, with Chelsea lying fourth in the Premier League.
At the time of his departure, there were suggestions some players were not happy with his management style - problems Villas-Boas has also reportedly encountered.
"Some things are known, like the relations with the owner, who has the relationship with some players before the coach," added Scolari.
The former Portugal boss also believes one of the reasons why Chelsea have a ratio of nearly one manager a year under Abramovich is down to the club's culture.
"England has clubs like Arsenal, where Arsene Wenger has been for several years, yet has won only two or three championships," he said. "Chelsea's culture is very different."
Villas-Boas arrived in London after winning the quadruple with Porto in his first full season as a club manager.
And Scolari, now in charge of Brazilian club Palmeiras, believes Villas-Boas will recover from his Stamford Bridge experience.
"Villas-Boas was a champion and he will continue to be. He needed to replace at least seven or eight players, even since I was there, but he failed."
I don't think it was much secret that Scolari doesn't like pressure after the way he turned down England down. :lol:
But he is complimentary of Arsenal in that. :popcorn:
"There aren't too many people who don't have a good thing to say about 'Frank'" - Steve Claridge. Erm, well I am one of them...
..and now McGarry making absolutely sure we know that "John, Frank, Ashley, and Didier" had nothing to do with this, because they don't even talk to "Roman" any longer!!! What IS he after?!
Honest Frank. :bow:
Ash. :bow:
Big Man. :bow:
Didi. :bow:
OH MY GOD NOW HE'S SAYING AVB HAS 'EMOTIONAL ASPERGER'S'. Simply because he had a go at Drogba in their first meeting...
Another pathetic story from McGarry about Chelsea booing when team were watching Barcelona took the lead against Real in Copa Del Ray.Apparently - and I don't believe a word of this - AVB censured them for supporting a side managed by Mourinho. "Behaving like a child" indeed.
Chapman effectively telling 'Ian' to grow up :lol:
