Luiz Felipe Scolari Sees the Chelsea Exit Door

Luiz Felipe Scolari started of his football career as a defender for clubs such as Caxias, Juventude, Novo Hamburgo and CSA. He was not known as much of a skilful player but rather uncompromising.

After a short career Luiz Felipe Scolari decided to get into management, his first role was that of the club he played for CSA, whom he won a major trophy with as a player. But his management did the speaking as he won the Alagoano state championship in his first season. He then went on to manage further clubs before taking on one of Brazils biggest clubs Gremio in 1987 which led to a championship title win.

His rise to worldwide fame though came when he was appointed manage of the Brazil national squad. The squad at the time were struggling to qualify for the 2002 World Cup. After miraculously getting them through, Brazil then went onto win the whole competition, shortly after Scolari resigned as manager.

Scolari then went on to manage Portugal twice before making his way to the English Premier League to take control of Chelsea. He started off very well but after a few months in charge Chelsea hit a bad patch and Scolari got shown sacked.

But was it correct to sack someone that has only been in the role for a few months? In my opinion it is not and this is why football fans are getting angry. The club owners are spending so much money that they expect to win every match, but as the regular expression goes, money can't buy you everything.

Why do you think that clubs such as Arsenal and Manchester United are always doing well? It's because they keep their managers for years who have a connection with the players. And that is one thing the clubs cannot buy, they cannot make time advance so that managers have time to settle in. It is not about buying the best players in the world, sometimes doing that can end up making the worst team. It is all about teams, players and managers getting on with each other and this is what all these clubs that are throwing huge amounts of money at players are doing the wrong thing.

They are trying to get a profit as soon as they make there investment and will end up losing if they think like this. If you are buying a football club then don't squander all the money straight away look at it as a long term investment rather than a quick win solution.
