Hop its true, AVB as a manager, and Guus as the director.

Make it happen Roman.

Is this news agency Lusa any credible? Because everyone is qouting the same source.

would be better for chelsea than Hiddink.But dont think he will take that risk could easily ruin his coaching career.

Yeah but SKY said we were after Hughes.

I've said it before but...

Villas-boas isn't gonna leave Porto until next season. I think he wants to continue with a team he has already built and finished in CL 1 season more.

He said after the Europa win he will not leave Porto. Paying his buyout clause means jack squat

by Gil Mon Jun 20, 2011 12:50 pm

I too have my doubts about this move but you think we wouldn't have already tapped him up before we reportedly bought out his contract?

by Art Morte Mon Jun 20, 2011 12:53 pm

Guardian reporting it sounds pretty solid to me, unfortunately!
Villa-Boas could do wonders at Chelsea, hopefully he doesn't go there : /

by SaintJoe Mon Jun 20, 2011 1:03 pm

A lot of portuguese media are reporting that he's going to Chelsea...

by theaguia Mon Jun 20, 2011 2:23 pm

its official according to portuguese papers

by El Chelsea Fuerte Mon Jun 20, 2011 2:39 pm

porto saying we havent made a bid for his release clause yet

but 13m is nothing to roman

They also said Coentrao to Madrid was official like 3 weeks ago lmao

how was he known to manage youth players at porto?

by Mr Nick09 Mon Jun 20, 2011 3:14 pm

he did a pretty good job with James bond last season. and porto is fairly young as well.

anyway doubt he is leaving. it's easy fpr the press to run with the "successor of mourinho" tag line, wait for concrete sources.

bbc are reporting that hes set for the chelsea post even though in their report they said that porto had not received an offer yet

bbc is a concrete source

by Mr Nick09 Mon Jun 20, 2011 3:22 pm

so are they saying that Chelsea is targetting him? that's what i got

"Chelsea to appoint Porto coach Andre Villas-Boas"

though im not sure where these guys are getting this if porto have said they have not received a bid yet

by Art Morte Mon Jun 20, 2011 3:27 pm

BBC are pretty cautious about their reporting, they don't just copy-and-paste from other media but check stuff themselves (otherwise they'd have fail rumours as news much often). I'd say it's 90% happening if the BBC reports it.

by Mr Nick09 Mon Jun 20, 2011 3:27 pm

yup sounds like they are sensationalizing the news. it's only natural fir chelsea to express an inerest

by M99 Mon Jun 20, 2011 3:31 pm

Twitter's gone crazy about it, but I think Chelsea fans will be disappointed. Villa-Boas has repeatedly said that he will not leave this season, hew wants to win the Champions League and he is pretty damn serious about it. Maybe next season he will move, but this season I frankly think the chances of him leaving are zero.

BBC are confirming it.So probably true.Bit of a risk on his part taking Chelsea job so early.
