Chelsea have sensationally sacked manager Luiz Felipe Scolari.
The club's website revealed the dramatic move had been made "to maintain a challenge for the trophies we are still competing for".
World Cup winner Scolari had only been in the job since June 2008, when he became Chelsea's third boss in a year.
Chelsea are fourth in the Premier League but remain in the Champions League and FA Cup, with Ray Wilkins in charge until a successor is appointed.
"Luiz Felipe Scolari has been dismissed as manager of Chelsea Football Club with immediate effect," read the statement.
"The Chelsea board would like to place on record our gratitude for his time as manager."
Scolari signed a lucrative three-year deal when he joined Chelsea and the London club could face a hefty compensation pay-out to their former manager.
Scolari's spokesman Acaz Felleger said it was Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich who had run out of patience with the Brazilian coach.
"It seems that Abramovich made the decision," Felleger told Lance newspaper's website.
lol they spend so much money and can't win, the owner has no patience.

Just throw money at the problem and it may fix itself. Good mantra to live by I guess.....if you're filthy rich

They should of given him the rest of the season at least. I think he mainly got fired because of the record against the big 3. Liverpool beat them twice and even ended their 80-something game non losing streak at home.

Haha your right, but thats how it is. Even in Spain and Italy the top teams are the ones that spend the most. They make so much money, are recognized all over world and usually have a billionaire running the team.

Premier league has always been like that, they dont mind loosing a few million to keep a good record. He was doing a fine job from what I could tell and I'm sure there was more to it then his 3 losses that they aren't mentioning but im sure he wont have a problem getting a new position. Im just curious to see who they will bring in to replace him. From what I can tell it looks like Frank Rijkaardm from Barcelona.
Anyone think Scolari will go back to Portugal?
