seems like (viva) john terry and abraomovich have gone for the poor man's jose mourinho.
some facts:
*no managerial experience in english football (the tea lady was in the chelsea backroom staff, would you make her manager?)
*only time ever managed outside portugal was the british virgin islands.
*no champions league experience (but did quite well in the channel 5 cup)
i can see chelsea under him fading away next season - no stability, aging players, too much interference from the owners, sky-high unrealistic demands for CL win.
next year is looking every bit an all-manchester title contest. bring it on.
Villas-Boas

Interesting appointment if it goes through. Either going to be another Mourinho or another Scholari. Looking forward to finding out which! One's thing for sure though, fail to get a trophy in the first season and he's off!

I dont think he will be sacked after 1 season if he fails to produce the goods, 2 seasons , most probably.
Thing im worried about is how the players are going to respond to this , hes nearly the same age as some of them. Some big egos will have to be pushed to the side.

Jose is too negative and an embarassment.

Dont underestimate this guy, he is the best coach under 40 in the world.

I think Roman maybe sees him as the next Pep Guardiola. Roman has a vision of Chelsea becoming Barcelona so the appointment is actually not that surprising. However, if he fails, I'm pretty sure it will be another manager that Roman will put on the manager trash heap!
