Scolari Next Chelsea Manager But Betting Begins On Whose Next
Thursday 12 June 2008 at 11:05
 William Hill have priced up a number of Big Phil Scolari Specials after he was announced as the new Chelsea manager last night. These odds include who will succeed Scolari as manager with Carlo Ancelotti the 5/2 favourite.
Talk Of The Sack Already
If you don't think that Big Phil is the man for the job then you could do worse than back the 25/1 about Scolari leaving the job this year. Avram Grant didn't last a whole season despite guiding Chelsea to runners up spots in both the Premiership and the Champions League.
Abramovich Is Impatient
Russian owner Roman Abramovich is becoming increasingly hard to please as he seeks domination of English football and the prospect of another trophyless season could have him wielding his managerial axe once again.
Next Chelsea Manager Betting
Amazingly William Hill are already betting on the Next Chelsea Manager. That is who will take over when Scolari leaves. Carlo Ancelotti who was seemingly first choice this summer is 5/2 favourite and current Russia boss Guus Hiddink, who has close ties with Abramovich, is 11/4.
Ex Barcelona boss Frank Rijkaard is 11/2 and Jose Mourinho, who has just taken over at Inter Milan is an interesting 12/1 to make a return to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea League Position Betting
Betting is also available on Chelsea's finishing position next season. William Hill have them at 9/4 to win the league, 5/4 to finish 2nd, 5/2 to finish 3rd, 10/1 to finish 4th and 20/1 to finish 5th or worse.
Portugal And Chelsea Success
For those who think Scolari is the second coming William Hill are offering odds that Portugal will win Euro 2008 and then Chelsea will win the league, both with Scolari in charge. The price is 14/1 and it is 28/1 that Portugal win Euro 2008 and Chelsea win the Champions League. It is 80/1 for Scolari to win all three trophies.
Chelsea 150/1 To Win Everything
So how many trophies will Scolari win in his first season at Chelsea? The even money favourite is none which would surely leave Abramovich considering his future. Scolari is 6/4 to win one trophy, 9/2 to win two, 14/1 to win a treble and a massive 150/1 to win all four.
