Scolari sacked as Chelsea manager

February 9th, 2009 | 5 Comments | Posted in English Premier League, Other

Luiz Felipe ScolariLuiz Felipe Scolari has been sacked as manager of Chelsea.

Chelsea website says,

Luiz Felipe Scolari has been dismissed as manager of Chelsea Football Club today (Monday) with immediate effect.

The Chelsea board would like to place on record our gratitude for his time as manager.

Felipe has brought many positives to the club since he joined and we all feel a sense of sadness that our relationship has ended so soon.

Unfortunately the results and performances of the team appeared to be deteriorating at a key time in the season.

In order to maintain a challenge for the trophies we are still competing for we felt the only option was to make the change now.

The search for a new manager has already started and we hope to have someone in place as soon as possible.

While that continues Assistant Coach Ray Wilkins will take charge of the team on a temporary basis.

Scolari joined Chelsea in June 2008 and his 36 games in charge, 20 were won, five lost and 11 drawn.

Chelsea, who were unbeaten in the league at home for 86 matches until Liverpool’s 1-0 win in October 2008, have lost two home league matches and drawn on five occasions this season.
