Luiz Felipe Scolari 'couldn't adapt' to Chelsea
Scolari, who coached Brazil to World Cup success, was sacked on Monday afternoon with the Stamford Bridge club fourth in the Premier League - seven points behind leaders Manchester United having played a game more. [LNB]And former Chelsea midfielder Hollins, who was himself manager of the club from 1985-88, believes his failure to adapt to club management proved his downfall. [LNB]He told Sky Sports News: "You can't knock him for what he's done internationally but club football is a different ball game. [LNB]"I feel he couldn't adapt to the every day thing [of club management]. Internationally he's had time to look at a game and pick a team but [Chelsea] is instant."[LNB]Hollins continued: "Every day is very, very busy and I have to say I don't think there was enough in there from him to carry it through. [LNB]"He had to have the players every day - some players have massive egos, it's the case all over the country. But Chelsea are a big side and he had to pick the team that could win a match." [LNB]Scolari's last game was a disappointing 0-0 home draw against Hull on Saturday and Hollins continued: "I've seen five games where things didn't change a great deal - and they couldn't beat the lesser sides. [LNB]"They were winning home games and had that fabulous unbeaten home record but suddenly they looked an ordinary team. [LNB]"He was the man who was going to put the discipline into everything. I feel he appeared to be quite relaxed on the line, yet he shouted and screamed when he was doing his international bit."[LNB]
