LUIZ FELIPE SCOLARI is the latest coach to claim he has
been asked about taking over at Chelsea. Big Phil said he is
flattered to be considered to replace Jose Mourinho at Stamford
Bridge. But the Brazilians interest in the job will come as a
severe blow to Mourinho, who has been told he will be in charge
next season.
Sources close to Scolari insist the approach took place in the last
three weeks. That would mean Mourinho could yet lose his job this
summer. Acaz Fellegger, Scolaris spokesman, said: This is the
time of the year when a lot of people make inquiries and Felipe has
received a few.
Its flattering to know a club like Chelsea is interested. But
Felipe has a contract, he is committed to his job with Portugal and
he wants to take them to Euro 2008. At the moment, that is the
situation.
