Villas-Boas to set out Chelsea vision

Andre Villas-Boas will be officially presented as Chelsea’s new manager this morning, determined to demonstrate just why he was the “outstanding candidate” to take the west London club forwards.

The 33-year-old is embarking on the toughest test of his fledgling coaching career in one of the game’s most demanding jobs after succeeding Carlo Ancelotti. The experienced Italian was celebrating an historic league and FA Cup double in his first full season at the helm before being unceremoniously axed after a barren campaign and early Champions League exit to eventual finalists Manchester United.
