Chelsea confirmed on Wednesday, that Luis Pelipe Scolari, currently the head coach of Portugal's national team, has selected as the Blues' new manager, replacing the deposed and maligned Avram Grant.
Chelsea said in a statement: 'Chelsea Football Club is delighted to confirm that Luiz Felipe Scolari will be the club's new manager from July 1, 2008.
'Felipe has great qualities. He is one of 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.
'He was the outstanding choice.
'Out of respect for his current role as head coach of the Portuguese national team, and to ensure minimum disruption to this work, there will be no further comment from Chelsea FC nor from Felipe about his new role until his employment with us commences.'
Will Pelipe become the new "Special One," as Jose Mourhino had been?
