Without a club since his departure from Olympique de Marseille in 2021, André Villas-Boas could make a resounding return.
The supporters of Olympique de Marseille left him exhausted, two and a half years ago, after a contrasting period where the state of grace of his first months had given way to general confusion. Then replaced by Jorge Sampaoli to open a new era, André Villas-Boas temporarily left the world of football to devote himself to his other passions, such as motor sports. But the Portuguese technician could make an unexpected return.
The newspaper Publico has indeed relayed a recent outing by André Villas-Boas which says more about his short-term ambitions. As a speaker, the former OM coach suggested that he could apply to become president of FC Porto. After being a translator, assistant and number 1 coach, can AVB become a successful manager?
“ We will see“, launched the Portuguese technician in this intervention carried out at the Faculty of Economics of the University of Porto. “ There are a series of personal and professional considerations that I must take into account. My friends consider it the most irrational decision of my life, they don’t understand how it can generate so much passion in me. But the reality is that my English family is closely linked to the founding of FC Porto“.
As a reminder, FC Porto is a very important step in the career of André Villas-Boas since this club allowed him to build a reputation in his life as a coach. AVB noted that they led the Dragons to a Europa League title in 2011.
