In 2015, Scolari became manager of Guangzhou Evergrande in the Chinese Super League. In his first season, he guided the team to win both the Chinese Super League title and the AFC Champions League. His arrival marked a significant investment in experienced managerial talent within Chinese football, contributing to the league’s growing international profile.
Luiz Felipe Scolari is married to Olga Scolari, and they have two children: Leonardo and Fabrício Scolari. As a highly experienced and successful manager, he has earned a significant income, reported at £2.8 million per year during his peak tenure, contributing to an estimated net worth of around $3 million.
Known for his motivational and psychological tactics, Scolari once distributed photocopies of Sun Tzu’s ancient Chinese military treatise The Art of War to his players to inspire strategic thinking. He also used culturally resonant media like music videos from Brazilian singer Ivete Sangalo to bolster team spirit and national pride within his squads.
Throughout his career, Scolari occasionally drew media attention for his facial resemblance to American actor Gene Hackman, a light-hearted observation that added a unique note to his public image.
