It will be hell! Scolari warns AVB's successor after the pair suffered similar fate



Former Chelsea boss Luiz Felipe Scolari has laid down the gauntlet to whoever succeeds Andre Villas-Boas at Stamford Bridge, by warning them it be 'hell'.



The Brazilian was sacked by Roman Abramovich following reports of a dressing-room revolt, the same thing which has gone for the most recent incumbent, who was dismissed on Sunday.



Scolari is now in charge of Brazilian outfit Palmeiras having had to take jobs as far away as Uzbekistan since leaving London in 2009.



Player revolt: Luiz Felipe Scolari suffered the same fate as Andre Villas-Boas

On hearing the news of Villas-Boas' demise, the 63-year-old said: 'England has clubs like Arsenal, where Arsene Wenger has been for several years, yet has won only two or three championships.



'Chelsea's culture is very different, but this move is strange - although it's not so strange to me because of what I went through there.



'Some things are known, like the relations with the owner, who has the relationship with some players before the coach.



'Villas-Boas was a champion and he will continue to be. He needed to replace at least seven or eight players, even since I was there, but he failed.



'It will be hell for whoever succeeds him.'



The 1-0 defeat at West Bromwich on Saturday, together with Villas-Boas' post-match comments demanding '300 per cent improvement' from the players, prompted Abramovich to act, having previously defended his appointment despite Chelsea’s wretched run of results.



The owner is known to have been swayed by football people within the club.
