He managed Brazil when you won the World Cup in '02, aswell :)
Interesting, didn't see it coming tbh.
Big Phil in the Premiership
Great news
He has no experience at club level does he?? :S
Unlucky for Phil Scolari is all I can say - judging by last season he will need to win in a major competition, either the EU champs league or the Premiership.
He's taking on the current hottest seat in domestic football, all his moves will be under an intense media eye, and of course, the perfectionist eye of Roman!
Best of luck to him though.
Best of luck to him, he should do well.
He's managed CSA, Juventude, Brasil de Pelotas, Al-shabab, Gremio, Goias EC, Al Qadisiya Kuwait, Criciuma EC, Al-Ahli, Jublio Iwata, Palmeiras and Cruzeiro.Quote:

chelsea have money which probably means they will be able to sign just about anyone they like with him in charge. may also mean key players like ricardo c will stay and they may even go for deco. i think he'll be a success there
Ronaldo to Chelsea, anyone?
hahaQuote:

Good manager tbh, from his Portugal team, id like to see him bring Moutinho & Quaresma to Chelsea :)
He'll be fired for not winning the quadruple.
He'll probably be fired if he doesn't win the Copa Libertadores.Quote:
