Sacked Luiz Felipe Scolari to get £7.5million pay-off from Chelsea
Scolari will pocket about £7.5million for getting the sack...
Luiz Felipe Scolari will pocket about £7.5million after being axed as Chelsea boss yesterday.
The 60-year-old Brazilian’s huge pay-off is compensation for getting the boot just seven months into his three-year £18.75million deal.
It means owner Roman Abramovich will have forked out £32.5million to the four managers he has sacked since taking over the West London club five years ago.
The ruthless Russian tycoon fired Big Phil after Chelsea’s humiliating draw against Hull on Saturday. Angry fans chanted “you don’t know what you’re doing” at the World Cup winner.
Scolari said last night: “I am sorry my time here couldn’t have been longer.”

Mourinho had to go, seriously... He was dragging the club's name through the mud... Anyway, by his 3rd year he was finish, some players started to get unhappy with his ways... And into his 4th year, the club started badly, was in trouble of not getting into the CL knock-out stage also... Terry, Shevchenko, J Cole & Ballack were reported to be unhappy with him too... Mourinho was also making too much needless comment about Roman... It was his time to go... -

Luiz Felipe Scolari
Tuesday February 10,2009
Luiz Felipe Scolari could collect as much as £15million in compensation after being sacked as Chelsea coach.
The Barclays Premier League club terminated his three-year contract, worth an estimated £6million per annum to the Brazilian, after he had spent just seven months in the Stamford Bridge hot-seat.
It could take the total spent on getting rid of the last three managers to around £40million, following the departures of Jose Mourinho in September, 2007 and Avram Grant last summer.
Grant was fired to make way for Scolari just five months after putting pen to paper on a new four-year deal.
The club's chief executive, Peter Kenyon, is due to reveal the club's accounts for the year ended July 2008 at the end of this week.
They are expected to show a loss with much of it likely to be explained away by the massive pay-offs to Grant and Mourinho.
Kenyon continues to insist the club will become 'operationally independent' of owner Roman Abramovich by 2010.
But that plan may now have taken a huge setback because of the decision to offload Scolari.
Chelsea recorded a loss of £75.8million in the accounts to the end of June 2007 and although that was significantly better than the £140million loss recorded two years earlier, their continual handouts to unwanted managers threatens to undermine their plan to run a cost-effective ship.
The club's owner is reported to have seen his wealth hit by the global financial crisis but he steadfastly refuses any notion that he is looking to sell the club. -
