Felipe Scolari looks set to become the national coach of Mexico ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Scolari is thus expected to be presented as the new Mexican national coach soon. 75-year-old Scolari recently went his separate ways with the top Brazilian club Atletico MG. Now the seasoned Brazilian looks set to continue his career […]

Luiz Felipe Scolari, who managed Brazil to the World Cup in 2002, announced his retirement on Monday. The Brazilian recently managed Athletico Paranense to the Copa Libertadores Final. Scolari and his club lost to Flamengo, 1-0, missing out on the club's first continental crown. Luiz Felipe Scolari enters retirement as one of the most experienced […]

Chelsea announced a £65.7m loss for last year, a staggering sum, particularly as it marks an improvement over the loose-pursed past. Though the tangible sum is less, the impact will be felt more, after Roman Abramovich as billionaire Roman Abramovich potentially lost the bulk of his fortune. Abramovich’s woes have already affected Chelsea. The Russian […]

Is there anything Tim Cahill can't do? Tim Cahill's week defines the word jet lag. From Liverpool to Japan for a World Cup Qualifier. His performance for Australia wasn't exactly great, then again neither was Australia's. Cahill had to be thankful Everton's FA Cup tie against Aston Villa was on Sunday, I don't think he […]

The firings of Tony Adams by Portsmouth and Big Phil Scolari by Chelsea brought the total number of clubs that have changed managers this season to seven, and the number of managerial changes to eight.

A strange turn of events at Chelsea where Luiz Felipe Scolari has been sacked and Avram Grant, the man Scolari replaced, has emerged as one of the candidates on Chelsea's shortlist to replace the former World Cup-winning manager. Whether Grant gets the job is purely speculation but it's just another sign of how funny football […]

Here's this Russian oil tycoon who has spent hundreds of millions of pounds to try to build the world's biggest […]

Luiz Felipe Scolari has been sacked by Chelsea. The last straw for Chelsea FC was the club's uninspiring 0-0 draw at home against Hull City. The draw pushed Chelsea further behind in the league title race after Liverpool and Manchester United both recorded wins. The club are now seven points behind league leaders Manchester United. […]

Late Liverpool Halt Chelsea's Faltering Challenge It's a cold Sunday afternoon and I've parked my backside on the sofa to watch Liverpool vs Chelsea, a clash of the title contenders. Man United's ominous form coupled with their rivals inability to keep pace means we all know that the team that loses Sunday's game is well and truly out of […]

In life, attitude is everything. You can be one of the most gifted artists in the world, but unless you're willing to work hard and have the right attitude, your chance of success is slim. The same applies to football. A perfect example of this is at Stamford Bridge where Chelsea have a talent pool […]

How would you like to have been a Manchester City or Blackburn Rovers fan heading from the north of England to the south, only to do a turnabout and head home after finding out your upcoming fixture was canceled? I know if it was me, a few words of the four letter variety would have […]

If there is one story that I want to just be over and never have to hear about again, the Carlos Tevez saga with West Ham United and Sheffield United would be that story. When I first read that the FA and the Premier League were going to reopen the case against West Ham and […]

It's so rare these days that a football manager says anything new or remotely intelligent other than the rehearsed lines he memorizes from media training. Other than Joe Kinnear, of course.
