Wow!!!…. What a great news for my friend, Fadli
All the headlines suddenly focus on the appointment of Luiz Felipe Scolari who has been confirmed as the new manager of Chelsea in the middle of Euro 2008.
The Brazilian had been one of the favorites to succeed Avram Grant in the Stamford Bridge hot seat but the timing of his appointment has come as a huge surprise.
Scolari is currently managing Portugal at Euro 2008 and was not expected to make a decision about his future until after the tournament.Big Phil is the third manager that the Russian billionaire has appointed since his famously infamous takeover, and if the owner realizes his past mistakes and lets the manager do his job, things could finally fall into place.
Third time lucky? I think so.
