He is currently the youngest football manager in the [[Premier league]] and is known for his animated celebrations in his team's dug-out. He is STILL the current manager of Chelsea, so deal with it Chelsea fans. |
|||
Villas-Boas's plans to start his career as a professional player never became a reality. His career in management began courtesy of then manager Sir [[Bobby Robson]] as a 16-year-old. This came about as Robson saw his enthusiasm, who invited to a FC Porto training session in the mid-90s before subsequently offering him a job in the club's youth set-up and he became an interpreter. Villas-Boas gained his UEFA C coaching licence at the age of 17, before moving to become the manager of the British Virgin Islands national team at only 21. After this, he returned to Porto picking up his B and A licences and became assistant manager to José Mourinho. He worked under Mourinho at Porto in Portugal, Chelsea in England (in the Opponent Observation Department (OOD)) and Italian club Internazionale. He left Mourinho in October 2009, to pursue a career as manager and was appointed manager of [[Primeira Liga]] side [[Associação Académica de Coimbra – O.A.F.|Académica de Coimbra]]. He impressed, finishing 11th at the end of the season, also reaching the Portuguese League Cup semi-finals. |
|||
Villas-Boas's attacking style gained praise and attracted many clubs, before being appointed at Porto, this time as manager. He won his first title when Porto defeated Benfica 2-0 in the Portuguese Supercup. He added to this in his impressive debut season when he won the Portuguese Primeira Liga unbeaten, the UEFA Europa League and the Portuguese Cup titles. In this he equalled Mourinho's record and further followed in his footsteps when he resigned in the summer after the Blues met his record €15 million buyout clause and signed for Chelsea swapping the Estadio do Dragao for Stamford Bridge.<ref>{{cite web | title = Andre Villas-Boas - Manager | url = http://www.chelseafc.com/page/TheManagement/0,,10268~2380299,00.html | accessdate = 24 February 2012}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://thesun.mobi/sol/homepage/sport/football/3585938/Andre-Villas-Boas-hoping-to-get-one-over-Jose-Mourinho.html?mob=1 |title=Villas-Boas can be Special |newspaper=The Sun |date=2011-05-18 |accessdate=2011-06-22}}</ref><ref name="soccernet.espn.go.com">{{Cite web|url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report/_/id/316536?cc=5739|title=Prolific Falcao leads Porto to glory|date=18 May 2011|publisher=ESPN Soccernet|accessdate=24 May 2011}}</ref> His €15 million (£13.3 million) move from Porto to Chelsea is the most expensive ever for a manager.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.smh.com.au/sport/football/villasboas-is-new-chelsea-manager-20110622-1gfc2.html |title=Villas-Boas is new Chelsea manager |publisher=Smh.com.au |date=2011-06-22 |accessdate=2011-06-22}}</ref> |

"I was a small boy, but because I was so interested in football I went to his flat to try to meet him," he recalled.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.level3football.com/royhendo/article/andre_villas_boas_how_would_he_fare_at_chelsea |title=Andre Villas-Boas - how would be fare at Chelsea? |publisher=level3football.com |date=2011-06-20 |accessdate=2012-02-11}}</ref> Following a discussion between the two, Robson appointed Villas-Boas to Porto's observation department.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/clubfootball/news/newsid=1306459.html |title=Novice delighting in the Dragao dugout |publisher=FIFA.com |date=2010-09-23 |accessdate=2011-06-22}}</ref> Villas-Boas has spoken fluent English since childhood, as his grandmother was from Stockport.<ref name = "bobby robson"/> Robson arranged for Villas-Boas to obtain [[the Football Association|the FA]] coaching qualification, the UEFA C coaching licence in Scotland and for him to study the training methods of [[Ipswich Town F.C.|Ipswich Town]], then managed by [[George Burley]].<ref name = "bobby robson">{{cite news|url=http://www.sundaysun.co.uk/news/north-east-news/2011/04/17/porto-boss-andrea-villas-boas-says-sir-bobby-robson-was-his-inspiration-79310-28532940/|title=Porto boss Andrea Villas-Boas says Sir Bobby Robson was his inspiration |newspaper=[[Sunday Sun]]|publisher=Trinity Mirror|date=17 April 2011|accessdate=3 October 2011|first=Roger |last=Domeneghetti}}</ref><ref name = "largs mafia">{{cite news|url=http://thescotsman.scotsman.com/sport/Another-feather-in-development-director.6789738.jp|title=Another feather in development director Fleeting's cap as Largs coaching class proves its value again|newspaper=[[The Scotsman]]|publisher=Johnston Press|date=23 June 2011 |accessdate=3 October 2011 |first=Alan|last=Pattullo}}</ref> He later also obtained his B licence, A licence and [[UEFA Pro Licence]] in Scotland, under the tutelage of [[Jim Fleeting (footballer)|Jim Fleeting]].<ref name = "largs mafia"/> |

At the start of the 2009–10 season, Villas-Boas left Mourinho's support team to pursue a career as manager, and he soon found a job in the [[Primeira Liga]] with [[Associação Académica de Coimbra – O.A.F.|Académica de Coimbra]], filling a vacancy created by [[Rogério Gonçalves]]' resignation in October 2009.<ref name="uefa" /><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.portugoal.net/index.php/more-academica-news/4682-andre-villas-boas-new-academica-boss |title=Academica appoint Andre Villas-Boas as head coach |publisher=PortuGOAL.net |accessdate=18 December 2010 |date=14 October 2009}}</ref> At the time of Villas-Boas' appointment, Académica were at the bottom of the league and still without wins, but their luck started to change as he introduced a new style, leading them to a safe 11th place, ten points clear of the relegation zone. In addition to that, Académica also reached the [[2009–10 Taça da Liga|2009–10 Portuguese League Cup]] semi-finals, losing against Porto at the [[Estádio do Dragão]] with a late goal from [[Mariano González]]. His impact at Académica was immediate, not only because of solid results, but also because of the attractive football displayed by the team, which led to intense media speculation linking him with the vacant jobs at [[Sporting Clube de Portugal]] and [[F.C. Porto|Porto]] in the summer of 2010. |

After a positive start which saw Chelsea take 19 points from 24 in the Premier League, aswell as progression to the last 16 of the Champions League with a matchday six victory over Valencia, their season went on a massive downturn, with only 4 wins from 14 in all competitions, failing out of the top 4 by February 11th. A string of results which called the manager's future into question, aswell as many reported fall outs with senior members of the squad. In February 2012, former Chelsea manager and compatriot of AVB, Jose Mourinho offered support to Villas-Boas. "My message to the fans is I love Chelsea and Inter a great deal but I would prefer them to support their own teams and coaches," said Mourinho.Villas boas was sacked after a 1-0 defeat at west brom on 3rd of march 2012.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/7531149/Jose-offers-AVB-support |title=Jose offers AVB support |publisher=Sky Sports |accessdate=2012-02-19}}</ref> |

Luís André de Pina Cabral e Villas-Boas (born 17 October 1977), known as André Villas-Boas (Portuguese pronunciation: [ɐ̃ˈdɾɛ ˈvilɐʃ ˈboɐʃ]) or by his initials AVB,[2] is a Portuguese football manager, who Was in charge of Chelseabetween july 2011 to march 2012. He has no experience as a professional footballer.[3] After spells working as an assistant manager and a youth team coach in the early 1990 for Sir Bobby Robson at Porto and with José Mourinho at Porto in Portugal, Chelsea in England and Internazionale in Italy. He is currently the youngest football manager in the Premier league and is known for his animated celebrations in his team's dug-out. He is STILL the current manager of Chelsea, so deal with it Chelsea fans.
Villas-Boas's plans to start his career as a professional player never became a reality. His career in management began courtesy of then manager Sir Bobby Robson as a 16-year-old. This came about as Robson saw his enthusiasm, who invited to a FC Porto training session in the mid-90s before subsequently offering him a job in the club's youth set-up and he became an interpreter. Villas-Boas gained his UEFA C coaching licence at the age of 17, before moving to become the manager of the British Virgin Islands national team at only 21. After this, he returned to Porto picking up his B and A licences and became assistant manager to José Mourinho. He worked under Mourinho at Porto in Portugal, Chelsea in England (in the Opponent Observation Department (OOD)) and Italian club Internazionale. He left Mourinho in October 2009, to pursue a career as manager and was appointed manager of Primeira Liga side Académica de Coimbra. He impressed, finishing 11th at the end of the season, also reaching the Portuguese League Cup semi-finals.
Villas-Boas's attacking style gained praise and attracted many clubs, before being appointed at Porto, this time as manager. He won his first title when Porto defeated Benfica 2-0 in the Portuguese Supercup. He added to this in his impressive debut season when he won the Portuguese Primeira Liga unbeaten, the UEFA Europa League and the Portuguese Cup titles. In this he equalled Mourinho's record and further followed in his footsteps when he resigned in the summer after the Blues met his record €15 million buyout clause and signed for Chelsea swapping the Estadio do Dragao for Stamford Bridge.[4][5][6] His €15 million (£13.3 million) move from Porto to Chelsea is the most expensive ever for a manager.[7]
Managerial career
Early years
Villas-Boas was born in in Porto, Norte.[8] He was the second child and first son of Luís Filipe Manuel Henrique do Vale Peixoto de Sousa e Villas-Boas (born 29 February 1952) and Teresa Maria de Pina Cabral e Silva (born 11 February 1951).[1] Villas-Boas at the age of 16 lived in the same apartment block as Sir Bobby Robson, who was then manager of FC Porto. "I was a small boy, but because I was so interested in football I went to his flat to try to meet him," he recalled.[9] Following a discussion between the two, Robson appointed Villas-Boas to Porto's observation department.[10] Villas-Boas has spoken fluent English since childhood, as his grandmother was from Stockport.[11] Robson arranged for Villas-Boas to obtain the FA coaching qualification, the UEFA C coaching licence in Scotland and for him to study the training methods of Ipswich Town, then managed by George Burley.[11][12] He later also obtained his B licence, A licence and UEFA Pro Licence in Scotland, under the tutelage of Jim Fleeting.[12]
Villas-Boas had a short stint as manager of the British Virgin Islands national team at the age of 21.[13][14] "I was basically the country's coach. I was a kid, but they didn't know that. I only told them my age the day I left the post. It was such a grand job for a 21-year-old. I was in charge for the 2002 World Cup qualifiers, and I remember Bermuda beating us very heavily, with Shaun Goater scoring five goals. It was a bad defeat, but still an unbelievable experience for a guy so young," he said.[15] After this, he returned home to coach Porto's under-19 youth team, and later as the assistant to José Mourinho (another protégé of Robson's). "Because Jose knew me well from his time as Bobby Robson's assistant, he asked me to create the Opponent Observation Department." This process was meticulous, taking four days to compile a file.[16]
As Mourinho moved clubs to Chelsea and Internazionale, Villas-Boas followed.[14]
Académica
At the start of the 2009–10 season, Villas-Boas left Mourinho's support team to pursue a career as manager, and he soon found a job in the Primeira Liga with Académica de Coimbra, filling a vacancy created by Rogério Gonçalves' resignation in October 2009.[14][17] At the time of Villas-Boas' appointment, Académica were at the bottom of the league and still without wins, but their luck started to change as he introduced a new style, leading them to a safe 11th place, ten points clear of the relegation zone. In addition to that, Académica also reached the 2009–10 Portuguese League Cup semi-finals, losing against Porto at the Estádio do Dragão with a late goal from Mariano González. His impact at Académica was immediate, not only because of solid results, but also because of the attractive football displayed by the team, which led to intense media speculation linking him with the vacant jobs at Sporting Clube de Portugal and Porto in the summer of 2010.
Porto
Villas-Boas was announced as new Porto manager on 2 June 2010.[14] On 7 August 2010, he won his first trophy when Porto beat Benfica 2–0 in the Portuguese Supercup.[18] He followed this with three more titles: the Portuguese Primeira Liga, the UEFA Europa League and the Portuguese Cup. Porto finished the league season undefeated, with 27 victories and 3 draws. He became the third youngest manager to win the Primeira Liga, behind Mihály Siska (1938–39), and Juca (1961–62)[19] and the youngest manager ever to win a European competition, by winning the UEFA Europa League on 18 May 2011 at the age of 33 years and 213 days.[6] On 21 June 2011 Villas-Boas tendered his resignation as manager of Porto.[20]
Chelsea
Chelsea confirmed the appointment of Villas-Boas as their new manager on a three-year contract with immediate effect on 22 June 2011.[21][22] They indirectly paid Porto €15 million (£13.3 million) compensation via Villas-Boas to activate his release clause and free him from his contract.[23] On 30 July 2011, during the pre-season, Villas-Boas won his first piece of silverware with Chelsea, the 2011 Barclays Asia Trophy.
2011-12 season
After a positive start which saw Chelsea take 19 points from 24 in the Premier League, aswell as progression to the last 16 of the Champions League with a matchday six victory over Valencia, their season went on a massive downturn, with only 4 wins from 14 in all competitions, failing out of the top 4 by February 11th. A string of results which called the manager's future into question, aswell as many reported fall outs with senior members of the squad. In February 2012, former Chelsea manager and compatriot of AVB, Jose Mourinho offered support to Villas-Boas. "My message to the fans is I love Chelsea and Inter a great deal but I would prefer them to support their own teams and coaches," said Mourinho.Villas boas was sacked after a 1-0 defeat at west brom on 3rd of march 2012.[24]
Personal life
He has been married since 2004 to Joana Teixeira, and has two daughters.[1][25] Villas-Boas, who speaks fluent English[26], was taught by his paternal grandmother Margaret Kendall, whose mother moved to Portugal from Cheadle, Greater Manchester, England, to start a wine business.[13][27] Her brother Douglas Kendall was a World War II hero who flew as a wing commander in the RAF. Villas-Boas' paternal great-uncle José Rui Villas-Boas was the viscount of Guilhomil, a title initially bestowed on his father José Gerado Villas-Boas by King Carlos I in 1890.[28][29] Villas-Boas' brother, João Luís de Pina Cabral Villas-Boas, is a Portuguese stage and television actor. He appeared as the character Criado in the lavish, costume drama Mistérios de Lisboa (Mysteries of Lisbon).[30]
