Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas has spoken out on being dismissed as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 manager last season and said that he ‘will never accept’ the sacking and accused Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich of breaking his promise to him.
Villas-Boas had signed a three-year contract with Chelsea but was sacked after only 8 months with the West London club.
The Portuguese manager had been very successful at Porto, leading them to the Portuguese quadruple two seasons ago. That was a landmark season for Villas-Boas as it brought him into the limelight. The manager was lured from Porto after Chelsea met his £13.3
million release clause last year.
The manager feels that he has been let down by Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich.
"I respect the decision of the owner of Chelsea, but I will never accept it," Villas-Boas said.
"I told him that for me it was him quitting on me when he had been so much involved in the beginning in bringing me in and he was the one also who was not putting up to the things he promised."
The Spurs boss continued and added: "It is all very well that you cut the project short and Chelsea go on to win two trophies and you say how wonderful the squad was, but at the beginning nobody believed in that squad when we put it together.”
He then stated that his short stint at Chelsea was a dramatic learning experience and is grateful for whatever happened as he believes it has made him a stronger person and a stronger coach.
At the same time, he finally admitted that he had faced disagreements with senior players over tactics and the direction of the club. The new Spurs boss refuses to live in the past and is now fully focused on Tottenham Hotspur, aiming to take the them to
new heights and winning the English title with the North London club.
Villas-Boas claimed that he had no shortage of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 offers after Chelsea but admitted that a return to “what is arguably the best league in the world” was too good a temptation to resist.
The Portuguese manager has already started making significant changes to the Tottenham squad and aims to lower the average squad age gradually. He is confident that this team will be able to win titles next season.
