Former Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari has claimed that Nicolas Anelka is the reason he was sacked by Chelsea back in 2009.
The Brazilian was shown the door by the Blues just seven months after taking charge with reports suggesting his inability to speak fluent English was blame.
However, the 69-year-old insists that was not the case and that French striker Anelka was to blame.
The London club had started the 2008-09 season well but problems arose when Didier Drogba returned from injury, Anelka refusing to move from a central forward position.
