Guangzhou fans mob departing coach Scolari

Guangzhou Evergrande fans mobbed Luiz Felipe Scolari at the airport as he left after leading the club to two Chinese Super League championships and the AFC Champions League crown.

The 69-year-old Brazilian, who was succeeded as coach last week by the Italian World Cup-winner Fabio Cannavaro, was a popular figure during his 2-1/2 years at the club. Guangzhou supporters, most of them dressed in the red of the club, draped a team scarf around Scolari’s neck and cheered and clapped as he flew out of Guangzhou airport on Wednesday night. Some held a banner reading: “General Felipe, thanks, from Guangzhou fans.”
