Not long after Portugal advanced to the quarterfinals stage of Euro 2008 after beating the Czech Republic 3-1, it was announced that Portugal's manager, Luis Felipe Scolari was Chelsea's new gaffer.
His presence will galvanize the Blues who have spiraled out of control after the sacking of Jose Mourinho early into last season.
Scolari's biggest achievement was leading Brazil to World Cup glory in 2002 and he famously turned down the chance to manage England following Sven-Goran Eriksson's departure in 2006. The 59-year-old has no experience of managing at club level in Europe.
As it is, the announcement has excited current and former Chelsea players. And with a cloud of doubt hanging over Cristiano Ronaldo's possible transfer to Real Madrid, it has also caught the attention of officials at Old Trafford.
