New Delhi: Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari has revealed in The Sun that he is already sussing out accommodation in Rome for next May's Champions League final.
The Blues are currently in the Italian capital preparing for Tuesday night's Group A blockbuster with Roma, and Scolari is revelling in his luxurious lodgings.
"I like this hotel, it’s beautiful," the Brazilian said of the Cavalieri Hilton, a £1,000-per-night Mediterranean palace situated in the heart of the Eternal City.
Chelsea are hot favourites to progress to the knockout rounds; a win against the Giallorossi this evening would all but assure them a place in the last 16.
The Premier League giants reached the final in Moscow last season, where they fell to Manchester United after an enthralling penalty shoot-out.
And Scolari is so confident of leading his Londoners back to the Stadio Olimpico at the end of the campaign that he is planning to make reservations at the Cavalieri Hilton six months in advance.
"If the hotel accepts we’ll book it for next year," he said. "I will be very happy to come back here in May.
"It’s a fantastic hotel. We went for a walk today and it’s in a beautiful area with a great view."
Chelsea will be without Ashley Cole Tuesday night, as he remained in England to undergo scans on his injured calf.
