Chelsea snap up Scolari: Portugal coach confirmed as new boss at the Bridge
Luiz Felipe Scolari was last night confirmed as Chelsea's new manager.
Owner Roman Abramovich watched the World Cup-winning Brazilian guide his Portugal side into the Euro 2008 quarterfinals and then gave authorisation for an announcement to be made.

As Sportsmail revealed two days ago, the deal was agreed last week and last night the club released a statement that said: 'Chelsea Football Club is delighted to confirm that Luiz Felipe Scolari will be the club's new manager from July 1, 2008.
'He is one the world's top coaches with a record of success at country and club level, he gets the best out of a talented squad of players and his ambitions and expectations match ours.
'Out of respect for his current role, and to ensure minimum disruption to this work, there will be no further comment from Chelsea nor Felipe about his new role until his employment with us commences.'

Kaka and Torres head rich list of Scolari targets

Luiz Felipe Scolari will be given heavyweight backing in the summer transfer market as Chelsea seek the audacious captures of Kaka from Milan and Fernando Torres from Liverpool. The Brazilian, who has agreed to take up the managerial reins at Stamford Bridge after his involvement in the European Championship with Portugal ends, will also be in the market for two of his current squad, the midfielder Deco and winger Ricardo Quaresma, and others under consideration include the Spain and Valencia striker David Villa.
Scolari's primary task when he begins his four-year contract will be to re-establish Chelsea as the dominant force in the Premier League, having slipped behind Manchester United in the past two seasons after their own back-to-back titles under Jose Mourinho. Champions League success is the other priority and Scolari will be encouraged to reach for the stars when it comes to shaping his squad.
Kaka has long been a target and Chelsea hope that the Fifa World Player of the Year will be sufficiently disappointed at Milan's failure to qualify for next season's Champions League to consider his options. Milan would resist any attempt to take away the heartbeat of their team but Chelsea are nothing if not persistent. They lured Andriy Shevchenko from Milan after several failed attempts, despite the Italian club's insistence that they would not sell.
Chelsea will face similar intransigence from Liverpool if they decide to follow up their tentative interest in Torres. Although Liverpool lag some way behind Chelsea and United in terms of spending power, the thought of cashing in on Torres, the striker who scored 33 goals for them last time out, in his debut season, would cause uproar among their support. A more viable option for Chelsea is Torres's international partner Villa, whom the club's owner, Roman Abramovich, watched score a hat-trick in the 4-1 win over Russia in Innsbruck on Tuesday.
Chelsea's Portuguese connection would be swelled by the arrivals of Deco from Barcelona and Quaresma from Porto and it is set to be maintained by Ricardo Carvalho staying at the club. The centre-half, a mainstay of Scolari's Portugal, had said that he would be tempted to play again under Mourinho at Internazionale, where the Portuguese manager has taken over from Roberto Mancini, but he said yesterday: "Scolari is a great manager and a big personality. He's the kind of guy that players respond to and I think we can go forward with him."
Scolari, who has never been to Stamford Bridge, is expected to bring at least two members of his Portugal backroom staff to London - his long-standing assistant Flavio Murtosa, who worked with him with Brazil before they joined Portugal, and the fitness coach Darlan Schneider, who is also his nephew. Chelsea are expected to retain Steve Clarke, the assistant manager.
The shockwaves at Chelsea's announcement of Scolari's capture on Wednesday night continued to be felt in the Portugal squad yesterday. He had told his players that he would not make his decision on his future public during the championship and there was a feeling that he had reneged on his word.
Having pulled down the shutters at the training camp in Neuchtel, cancelling all scheduled media activities, Scolari gathered his players around to explain himself. The timing of the Chelsea announcement, shortly after Portugal's 3-1 win over the Czech Republic which secured passage to the quarter-finals, seemed to catch Portuguese officials and players unaware, but Scolari was determined to keep the campaign on track. He will address the media tomorrow, before the final Group A tie against Switzerland in Basle on Sunday.
Manchester United have yet to respond to Scolari's comments about Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portugal winger who wants to join Real Madrid. "I have told him in football you cannot live on memories," Scolari said last week. "You have to take the opportunities when they come along because, perhaps, they will not come again in your lifetime." Sir Alex Ferguson, the United manager, could be forgiven for fearing that Scolari had ulterior motives.

Ronaldo Madrid Deal Already Done?
According to the Observer newspaper, a deal has already been agreed between Manchester United and Real Madrid to take Cristiano Ronaldo to the Spanish champions, despite the denials of both clubs.

The story is destined to become the enduring transfer saga of the summer, with the Portuguese player neither confirming nor denying his intentions about next season.
Manchester United have approached FIFA to complain about the alleged tapping up of their star player, while Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has insisted a deal cannot be done this transfer window.
However, according to the Observer, the deal has already passed the point of no return, with terms agreed weeks ago.
An unnamed Manchester United official commented on the rumours and stated that Sir Alex Ferguson is powerless to prevent the transfer from taking place.
The source is reported to have said: They have been talking for at least two months, and it was all agreed with Real Madrid weeks ago.
All this chat from Ramn Caldern that he does not want to upset Manchester United, and Cristiano Ronaldo cannot be bought because he belongs to another club, is absolute rubbish.
Discussions have gone way beyond the point of no return. Sir Alex Ferguson knows this now so you can imagine how it has gone down.
20/06/2008Speaking exclusively with Guillem Balague, Cristiano Ronaldo has given the strongest hint yet that his immediate future lies away from Old Trafford. Ronaldo said: "It is a dream, a step forward, you can call it what you want. For me it is a great opportunity, and as Scolari says, that train passes by only once, and we have to take advantage of it. That is why, he took advantage of his change, that opportunity, and other people have to take advantage of opportunities too."
Exclusive Interview: Cristiano Ronaldo to reveal his 'Dream step forward'
Guillem Balague: What feeling have you got after the defeat to Germany?
Cristiano Ronaldo: What feeling?
Guillem: The one after being knocked out
Ronaldo: We didn’t expect this. We wanted to continue in the tournament, but we didn’t do enough. We weren’t strong enough
Guillem: The little details were won by Germany. You didn’t seem concentrated enough
Ronaldo: I didn’t do anything wrong. I did what I had to do but the team made mistakes and that is why we lost
Guillem: What now, Ronaldo, we are expecting an announcement
Ronaldo: Lets see in a couple of days. The tournament is over and I am going to reach an agreement
Guillem: Are you going on holiday now?
Ronaldo: I am going to have an operation now. I have had for three months a problem on my foot. I have been playing with pain. I will have an operation, a good recuperation and we will see after that
Guillem: If you wanted to stay at Manchester United, why don’t you say it?
Ronaldo: You will soon know what I want. You do know what I want and that is why I don’t want to say anything else. Lets wait. I want to give more details that is why I cannot say much more
Guillem: When will that take place?
Ronaldo: In a couple of days. I am going to give my opinion in two days. I am going to say what I want, but things don’t depend only on me, that is why we have to wait
Guillem: Are you going to do a press conference, a communique?
Ronaldo: A public note
Guillem: Do you have to talk to Ferguson?
Ronaldo: I don’t know what I have to say to him. I have to say what I want and what I think.
Guillem: What you have to say, will that upset Ferguson?
Ronaldo: It is my opinion, that is why I don’t mind if people get upset. It is my decision. It is what I want
Guillem: When did you take that decision?
Ronaldo: Some time ago, before the Champions League final
Guillem: Is it something personal or is it for football reasons?
Ronaldo: We were competing and I didn’t want to say anything because it is a very important decision . I didn’t want to say anything here because I wanted to be focused on Portugal. But now it is finished and I am going to say
Guillem: Is it a personal problem or sporting problem
Ronaldo: It is a personal thing. It is something I want, something I dream of.
Guillem: And that your family dreams of too
Ronaldo: That is true. You all know what I want. I cannot say anything else. In two days you will hear from me
Guillem: Do you think it is going to be very difficult to get out of United?
Ronaldo: It is always difficult. It is not only one person deciding, it is many people, but it can be a very good thing for everybody
Guillem: Do you feel what you are about to decide is a step forward in your career, a dream?
Ronaldo: It is a dream, a step forward, you can call it what you want. For me it is a great opportunity, and as Scolari says, that train passes by only once, and we have to take advantage of it
Guillem: Ah, but thats not fair, Scolari is going to be the new Chelsea manager and wants you away from him!
Ronaldo: That is why, he took advantage of his change, that opportunity, and other people have to take advantage of opportunities too.
Guillem: You know that when you return to Manchester people will be upset with you
Ronaldo: But that will pass, a couple of good goals and people will be happy
Guillem: Will the key be to talk to Ferguson?
Ronaldo: I will do a public note and we will then see what will happen
Guillem: Do you think your dream will come true?
Ronaldo: I really hope so, lets see
Guillem: What about the operation?
Ronaldo: I will be seen by the doctors of United in a couple of days
Guillem: You will talk to your club first
Ronaldo: Yes, I will talk to them first, and then in 3 or 4 days I will be operated and then i will start the recuperation to get better soon
Guillem: Is it true that you never took a call from Ferguson?
Ronaldo: It is not true
Guillem: But have you spoken to him?
Ronaldo: No. I was in a very important competition and we had nothing to say to each other
Guillem: Are you convinced that in three or four days everything can be sorted?
Ronaldo: Yes, lets see, in the next few days we will have more details
not in good taste........Originally Posted by Alex Ferguson
Guillem: The little details were won by Germany. You didnt seem concentrated enough
