Incoming Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari has been speaking a little about the leadership style he will bring to London when he begins his new work on July 1.

Addressing the media over the weekend at Portugal's Euro 2008 camp, the Brazilian rebuffed suggestions he might be out of touch with club management having been employed on the international stage since 2001.

'The results of the squads I've coached speak for themselves,' pointed out the 59-year-old, twice winner of the Copa Libertadores, the South American equivalent of the Champions League.

'I have got my weak points but can't tell you my pluses or minuses. Ask the players I have worked with. I spent 20 years as a club manager, so I think I know the ins and outs of club management.

'First I look for technical qualities, then personal qualities and how they work as a unit because we are a team.

'I feel comfortable anywhere in the world as I establish good relations with people surrounding me,' he added.

'I like to play, I like jokes and I like to work with my players in a good atmosphere.

'But I don't like high society. I don't like to go to parties. I'm shy but I have a good relationship with all my players and that is the most important thing.'

Scolari also considered the fact that at Chelsea he will need to speak to players in more than his native tongue.

'I speak English with my players, I speak Italian, I speak German and don't worry, because the language of football is only one language. I communicate.'

Meanwhile England manager Fabio Capello has welcomed Scolari's imminent arrival.

'A Brazilian manager is interesting for English football. He will bring new ideas,' the Italian has said.

'I think he will do well. He's a very intelligent coach because he can change the style of a team.'
