Big Phil sacked!


Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari has been sacked today! The decision was taken following the draw against Hull city at home this saturday. Some Chelsea fans had also jeered at Scolari saying he didnt know what he was doing.
The former Brazilian coach, Scolari had a great start this season; with Chelsea winning many matches and staying on top of the table for few weeks. But since the team lost against Liverpool at home in the Premier League, Chelsea didnt win many matches. Following the draw against Hull city, Chelsea has slipped to the fourth position below Aston Villa.
Russian coach Guus Hiddink and former manager Avram Grant are believed be the early front runners for the position. Some fans had also held banners calling for Chelsea legends Gianfranco Zola (currently in West Ham) and Roberto Di Matteo to return to Stamford Bridge.
The assistant manager Ray Wilkins will be taking charge of the team in the meantime.
Hope whoever replaces him, will be able to do a good job for the club.

Update: Guus Hiddink has been appointed as the Chelsea boss today (11th feb)!
