Portugal legend Eusebio last night predicted Luiz Felipe Scolari will be a huge success at Chelsea - but warned he will rule with an iron fist.
Eusebio says Portugal boss Scolari deserves his reputation as a dressing room disciplinarian, pointing to the way he ruthlessly dumped Brazilian legend Romario before winning the World Cup in 2002.
"I think he is a great coach, in the sense that he understands everything to do with football," said Eusebio. "But his best quality is the discipline he has with his players.
"With Romario even the Brazilian president asked him if he would change his mind and he said: 'I'm sorry, I'm the coach of the national team and I have the final word on who comes and who doesn't'.
"And he won the cup."
