Chelsea?s number 14 only managed a meagre two goals during his debut Chelsea campaign, but this could be attributed to a large proportion of appearances coming off the bench with only a few minutes of match time left.
The former Bayern Munich front-man was surplus to requirements while Avram Grant was in charge. After the January purchase of Nicolas Anelka, Pizarro saw himself fall further down the pecking order at SW6 with Drogba, Anelka, and Kalou, all enjoying more playing time in the first team.
Despite reports in Greece linking the striker, who has 53 caps for Peru, with a move to the Athens based sports club; Panathinaikos, Pizarro seems adamant to prove his worth to his new Brazilian boss.
He told La Nacion: ?I look forward to taking my chances with the arrival of the new coach, who is a winner.?
Scolari officially started his new role on the 1st of July. One of his first tasks will be assessing the squad he has inherited.
