PHIL Scolari rejected the chance to take charge of Manchester City. The Chelsea boss, speaking ahead of his side's clash with the city tomorrow, approached during the summer when the club was still owned by Thaksin Shinawatra.
And while the city has been taken since then been taken over by the super-rich Abu Dhabi, United Group, Scolari is a staunch defender made the right choice.
He said: "Yes, they offered to me. It was a very good deal, but at that time I was with Portugal and told me he needed time to think. They came to Portugal and I talked about his ideas for the team over the next three or four years. I have not come to Chelsea because they are the richest club in the world. I came because I was offered a job that I thought was fantastic.''
"I do not think it is about the richest club in the world. If this is the city of Manchester or Milan, there is no difference for me. I'm just concentrating on my players and not what is happening elsewhere. If I'm happy in my house, I do not see other houses, because I have to look after my house first. And my house is Chelsea."
