The Ukrainian star joined Chelsea from AC Milan in 2006 for a fee of 39 million euros but has yet to justify such figure, having been considered one of Premier League's biggest transfer flops.
After two seasons in which he found goals extremely hard to come by, it was reported that The Blues were ready to off-load the player, with AC Milan and Barcelona emerging as possible suitors.
But Big Phil, who was appointed as coach earlier this summer, is interested in granting Shevchenko another opportunity to shine, this way pleasing the club's owner, Roman Abramovich, who orchestrated the Ukrainian's signing nearly two years ago.
Scolari will have the chance to coach his recently-inherited squad for the first time in tomorrow's pre-season training.
Shevchenko, who made just 17 appearances for Chelsea under Avram Grant, is expected to be given a starting role in the club's pre-season tour of Russia and the Far East.
