AVB's replacement is in for a rough ride
MAKING A POINT ... Big Phil Scolari


LUIZ FELIPE SCOLARI has warned it will be "hell" for whoever succeeds Andre Villas-Boas as Chelsea boss.


    Andre Villas-Boas has been replaced by Roberto Di Matteo
    Blues stars hate Di Matteo even more

    ROBERTO DI MATTEO faces Chelsea players who like him LESS than AVB
    Just bring back the Special One
    Andre Villas-Boas had no chants
    AVB’s 3-yr project lasted 257 days

Villas-Boas was sacked yesterday amid rumours of dressing-room unrest following a dismal run of results.

Scolari, 63, also suffered the same fate as the Portuguese after arriving at Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2008.

Big Phil was axed by Roman Abramovich in February 2009 and replaced by Guus Hiddink, who led the Blues to FA Cup glory as caretaker-manager.

And the Brazilian is well placed to shed some light on how things work behind the scenes at Stamford Bridge.

He said: "England has clubs like Arsenal, where Arsene Wenger has been for several years, yet has won only two or three championships.

"Chelsea's culture is very different, but this move is strange — although it's not so strange to me because of what I went through there.

"Some things are known, like the relations with the owner, who has the relationship with some players before the coach.

"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.

"It will be hell for whoever succeeds him."
