IS SCOLARI FERGIE'S WORST ENEMY ALREADY?




Lewis Felippe Scolari is one of those most successful managers in world football, having made it to the top level on the national stage. He led Brazil to their 2002 World Cup triumph and has led Portugal to the Euro 2004 final, World Cup semifinal 2006 and Euro 2008 semifinals.(SOME CV!) However, he recently gave up his post as coach of Portugal to take charge of manager-less Chelsea.(Chelsea have now had 3 different managers in the space of 12 months). Scolari has however booked himself a place in Fergie's bad books even before the two begin on field battles for honours. The Brazilian is allegedly reported to have urged Christiano Ronaldo to transfer to Real while the two were at Euro 2008. Though he recently denied it in a press conference, Fergie must have taken it personal! He then went on to vacate his post as Portuguese manager--a move that Sir Alex would not have appreciated because it leaves his Assistant Manager position wanting(Carlos Queiroz....). One can already see that the meeting between Chelsea and United in September will not be a dull one!
