Scolari named as Chelsea Manager

[Sandman]

Odd timing of it - but BBC is reporting that Scolari will be Chelsea's next manager.

Saw that...Interesting. He has the pedigree, he seems to be able to fend off the pressure from the outside (Chairmen, Federations, and Owners etc)

He will have his hands full with the FA, Peter Kenyon, and most importantly Roman Abramovich

I wonder if Ballack and Essien are interested in reading The Art of War by Sun Tzu....

strange Scolari can't speak english. The UK tabloids won't hurt him them since he can't understand them.

the portugese players like Carlvaho, Ferriera and Bosingwa will like the signing. Too bad C. Ronaldo won't follow.

4 year 27M pound contract. Must be pretty close being highest paid coach.

4 year, 27 big macs sounds about right. If we win this weekend, the contract extension calls for 54 big macs with large fries and a small diet coke.

Seriously. I may hate the Celtics now.

After the performance, and his performance today, by Slaven Bilic and Croatia, he might have been the guy for this post!

Tactically gifted and has a morale and camaraderie with his team like no other!

Agreed, couldn't they wait a few weeks then break the news?

I only know him as a national team manager so I'm very curious to see how Chelsea perform this season week in and week out. Can they maintain their consistent performances from years past?
