Luiz Felipe Scolari admits he struggled to handle the egos of the Chelsea locker room during his time in charge.
The Brazilian lasted seven months in charge of the Blues.
Scolari has revealed a poor relationship with some members of his squad meant his stint in West London was a testing one.
He told Brazilian station TB Arena Sport TV: "I didn't leave Chelsea because of sabotage from the players, but it is true that it was difficult to control the dressing room.
"In the dressing room at Chelsea, there were many big stars and good players but their behaviour was very different."
