Villas-Boas coy on his Blue future

ANDRE VILLAS-BOAS has played down talk he could stay at Chelsea for the rest of his career, admitting he had expected to be at Porto for many years.

Blues chairman Bruce Buck last week declared the club may finally have found their Alex Ferguson figure in Villas-Boas, claiming the 33-year-old could end up staying at Stamford Bridge for 15 years.

That is the maximum time Villas-Boas plans to spend in football coaching, and, with the Portuguese yesterday celebrating the second anniversary of his entry into management, he was making no predictions about what the future might hold.
