Zenit manager Andre Villas-Boas speaks up on Chelsea and Tottenham
Andre Villas-Boas has taken a chance to speak out against Chelsea and Tottenham; to defend his record as manager and basically to make excuses for the fact he was sacked twice after making a good start to his career at Porto.
If you remember, Chelsea paid over £13m to buy out his contract in Portugal and bring him to Stamford Bridge and we all know what happened!
Speaking recently, AVB decided to explain the reasoning for his sacking and said: "Of course we never know what will happen and what I found at Chelsea was not what I wanted.”
“I arrived at a difficult time in the private life of the chairman, who was rarely present. This clearly had an effect. Then I was surprised and I am still surprised that the chairman's intentions changed. When I went there the idea was to rebuild the team," he added.
(At the time, the Russian billionaire was fighting a court case against his mentor and compatriot Boris Berezovsky - the biggest private case in British legal history. The case began in 2011 and finished in Aug 2012.)
Why can't he just move on? He took on the massive project at Chelsea and make a right mess of it and, as a result, was sacked. You only have to look at what Roberto Di Matteo achieved with the same group of players to see what he could have achieved!
I have said this time and time again. You have to be as good a man manager of your players as you are tactically aware to succeed and at Chelsea AVB simply was not!
Shut up man and move on like we have!!
