Grant fears for Scolari

Former Chelsea manager Avram Grant has warned Luiz Felipe Scolari that he must succeed - or expect the axe. The Brazilian coach took charge at Stamford Bridge after the Euro 2008 tournament where he finished his role with Portugal.

"I like Scolari very much, as a person and coach,” Grant said in The Daily Mail. “I wish him the best of luck.

“But he will soon realise he has his work cut out.

”He will do well to match what I did last season, and even that was not enough to keep me in the job.”
