Brazil appoint Phil Scolari as coach.

[OneMoSalah 8,619]

Brazil have appointed ex-Chelsea manager Phil Scolari as their coach on a contract covering the 2014 World Cup, replacing Mano Menezes who was sacked as Brazil seek to head in a new direction.

Still don't see why Menezes was sacked, his team played nice football and he won most of his games. Scolari's teams tend to grind results out playing dire football so yeah Brazil could be terrible in the 2014 WC. This man won the World Cup in 2002 with Brazil though so in fact you never know...

Thoughts?

I knew it wouldn't be Guardiola taking over, but Scolari? I think they would have been better off keeping Menezes.

Didn't he just get fired at a Brazilian club? weird decision.

I doubt whether Brazil will make it to the quarters this year with Scolari. He's nothing but a ridiculous piece now.

Fired at Palmeiras wasn't it? He got them relegated...

Yep, it was indeed. Very strange decision.

Exactly, relegated Palmeiras to our second division.

I predict riots when we get demolished playing bad football at home.

At least we didn't get the clueless cunt!

Oh wait

What?

I can see some older players coming back into the side under Scolari tbh. Kaka, Robinho, Ronaldinho etc and just play it safe for a while, instead of tweaking with youngsters and risking things.

Still better than Torres for sure!

A non-Chelsea related thread. Moved to 'Football Banter' section.

Why does Scolari deserves his own thread?

By the way, he not only relegated Palmeiras but he also made them win a national throphy after 11 years.

By the way 2, if Parreira and Dunga got us to the QFs, I think we can (at least) get there, as well.

By the way 3, if we dont win (which is very likely) things are going to get bad, really bad.

"I'm not feeling under pressure, but very happy," he said. "When the FA president called me last Tuesday and confirmed that I was the chosen one, I thanked him a thousand times."

The chosen one aye, wasn't that not Anakin Skywalker?

Just glad he's nowhere near our club anymore. Strange decision to reappoint him with a massive World Cup in their own country coming up.

Think it that way, you will have a chance to beat us for the first time ever
