Scolari turned Blues




Luis Felipe Scolari is the man to lead Chelsea next season! The current Portugal coach has been instrumental in turning Portugal into a force to be reckoned in world football, and now he is turning to club football for challenge.

With him being announced as Chelsea's new manager, there are speculations linking him to Kaka, with their Brazilian connection and Chelsea's seems-unlimited source of money. Milan's technical director, Leonardo, the man behind Kaka's arrival in Milan, has said Kaka will not change team, and will be in Milan until his career end. While Milan do have the attraction of keeping players, with most of his players being at the team for years, and decades, Chelsea's assault on Kaka cannot be taken lightly.

As for Scolari, he is one coach that have the winning touch and the tactical wits. Not many people know he is the coach that lead Brazil to the 2002 World Cup Winner title, as most people have take it for granted that with Brazil's pool of talents, whoever coach the team can win. But this myth has faded with Brazil early exit in quater-finals to the unfancied France. As for Portugal, Scolari has turn them into real force, storming to the semi-final before being ousted also by the French. In Euro 2004, he lead Portugal to the final, before being defeated by another unfancy team, Greece.

He is a real character and cunning in his tactical approach. With his inclusion to the Barclays Premier League next season, there will surely be more out of the world comments between the top coaches.
