Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas given assurances by Roman Abramovich
Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas revealed the club owner Roman Abramovich had given him guarantees that he would not lose his http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 if he failed to deliver any silverware this season. The Blues have not been doing too well this season and most of the blame has
been piled on Villas-Boas.
In the past, the Russian billionaire has not stopped from sacking any manager who fails to deliver silverware, but it seems he does not intend to do the same this season with the young Portuguese manager. The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 boss revealed he had been in
talks with the board and had been given assurances.
Villas-Boas said while speaking to reporters:
“I have that assurance. Conversations have been ongoing with the board and they have been fully supportive.”
The Blues were dumped out of the Carling Cup competition by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 which could go on to define the rest
of their season.
If the Blues manage to win against the La Liga side they will qualify for the knockout stages of the European competition. However, if they fail they will be dropped from the competition which will bring further disappointment to the Blues and Andre Villas-Boas.
He revealed:
“There are no schedules for achieving different kinds of things. We are not avoiding our responsibilities towards this year, that is for sure. If we fail this year, like we failed last year, we were not up to our standards, so we need to see where we
missed.”
The manager revealed that while things weren’t currently going their way, they would try and return to winning ways.
Villas-Boas added:
“Philosophy is playing good football for the fans, good football to try and win games. We have been trying to that.”
The manager was not concerned with his personal record, but was focused on leading http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 to success. Something he will have a chance of doing when the Blues take the field against Newcastle United over the weekend.
The Blues boss continued:
“I don't care if it's my best time or worst time as a football coach, this is about the football club, not me.”
