Four successful managers who struggled at Premier League Clubs 

#1 Luiz Felipe Scolari- Chelsea

Big Phil couldn't deliver at Chelsea

Luis Felipe Scolari made history when he signed for Chelsea in 2008 by becoming the first ever World Cup winning manager to manage a team in the Premier League.

Scolari's appointment was seen as a major coup for the London Club, though, his intentions were originally brought into question when he admitted that financial reasons were one of his big reasons for signing with the Premier League giants.

Regardless, things got off to a good start under Scolari, with Chelsea hammering Portsmouth 4-0 on the opening day of the campaign. They also kickstarted their Champions League campaign with the same scoreline, destroying Ligue 1 side, Bordeaux at Stamford Bridge.

Unfortunately, results would begin to turn against Scolari before Christmas time, with the club being knocked out of the League Cup on penalties to Burnley, and suffering several defeats to some of their nearest rivals in the league.

Things would continue to turn sour for Scolari, with the club being held to a 1-1 draw at home against League two side, Southend United in the FA Cup. By the start of the new year, there were already questions surrounding Scolari's future at the club.

With Champions League qualification resting in the balance, the club decided to let Scolari go in early February, with Guus Hiddink being brought in as his temporary replacement.

Hiddink managed to turn Chelsea's fortune around, taking them to a third-place finish and winning the FA Cup at the club whilst also managing the Russian national side.
