Scolari refers to his work at Chelsea Football Club as hell © EuroFootball.com

Former Chelsea strategist Luiz Felipe Scolari calls working with club owner Roman Abramovich "hell."

Andre Villas Boas, who was fired from the "Blues" coaching position on Sunday, became the seventh sacked specialist since 2003.

"No matter who replaces Andre, they will face a real hell," Scolari said. "This dismissal is strange, although not as much when considering my personal experience."

In 2008, Scolari took the wheel at Chelsea, but after just seven months and 36 matches, he was dismissed. He insisted that Villas Boas would be able to recover from this blow.

"Andre was a champion, and he will remain so. He needed to replace seven or eight players who were playing during my time, but he didn't have time," said the former coach of the Brazilian national team.
