Scolari's agent Acaz Fellegger revealed that it was the club owner Roman Abramovich's decision to get rid of the Brazilian.
"It seems that Abramovich made the decision," Felleger told Lance newspaper's website.
"Scolari was not in a comfortable situation despite having the support of the squad and Peter Kenyon."
Scolari was the fourth consecutive casualty under Abramovich's regime with Claudio Ranieri the first to leave since the Russian millionaire arrived in 2003.
But the sacking of the former Portugal's coach could be costly for Chelsea. The club could pay as much as 15 million pounds in compensation with his unfinished three-year contract understood to be worth 6.25 million a year.
In a statement via Fellegger, Scolari expressed regrets of not having longer time in the club and confirmed that he would soon be talking to the media.
"It was a very valuable experience," he said, "I'm sorry that it has not been a longer-lasting relationship. I wish Chelsea luck in the three competitions in which they are taking part."
"I also take this opportunity to confirm that I will keep living in London and I will respond to the media soon."
Scolari came to Stanford Bridge following a six-year successful spell in charge of Portugal, who he led to the final of Euro 2004 and the semi-finals of the 2006 World Cup.
He enjoyed an impressive start with six wins and two draws from his first eight league games. But results, and their home form in particular, became deteriorating.
