Chelsea must wait until after Euro2008 if they want to sign Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari.

"I spoke on the telephone with Felipao on Friday and there was nothing related to Chelsea," Scolari's advisor, Acaz Felleger, told O Jogo.

"Only yesterday I learned through the newspapers that Avram Grant had left and they are studying the names of his successor, so the interest of Chelsea in Scolari is news to me.

"At this stage, when Felipao is preparing for the European Championship finals, there is no chance to sign a contract with someone or even have negotiations."
