    Another Sir Bobby Robson protégé. André doesn't have any playing experience, so how did he get into football? He use to live in Sir Bobby's flat block when he managed Porto. Sir Bobby came out side one day and 16 year old André started arguing with him about how he should use more forwards. Villas-Boas won the argument, So Bobby give him a job! :cheesy:

    In addition, I didn't realize our head scout Graham Carr was Alan Carr's (chatty man's) dad.

    It was a shock to me how Alan Carr can be so bad yet his dad is so great. I didn't have a clue about it untill someone on here mentioned it

    Agreed terms but has a €15million release clause in his contract. Which is huge for a Manager

    Playing under someone that great itself is unbelievable, but Andre has managed to work under Sir Bobby when he was just 16?! incredible..

    It says on BBC that he's set to be appointed. So yes, I suppose you could say he is the manager. Great, great manager, Chelsea (who I'm rather fond of) have done themselves proud in this appointment! <ok>

    Makes you wish you won a arguement with Sir Bobby after your GCSE's. You could of been head scout or even Alan Carr's dad.

    Basically he ran into bobby and told him that there was this one striker that he should be using!
    Sir bobby turned round and asked him to produce and essay/ stat pack on why he thought that he should be using him!
    Villas-Boas created the pack and Bobby took him under his wing while he did his coaching badges in ipswich and Scotland!
    Apparently that was the story anyway

    Got his first manager's job at 21, worked for Mourinho at Porto, Chelsea & Inter as opposition scout and won the treble for Porto last season in his first season as manager. He's basically a young Mourinho and there's no suprise at his release clause - he's one hell of a coach from what I hear.

    I only found this out the other day, can't believe I didn't know, bearing in mind I live in Northampton where they're from.

    Would love for this to be true, such a great story and another legacy. Would want Chelsea to win the league over Man Utd if he was the new Chelsea boss.

    Knew about that when Graham Carr was at Man City, apparently Alan Carr's a Man City fan because of the link.
