'No doubts' for AVB

Andre Villas-Boas is sure that he will still be Chelsea's manager next season.


Villas-Boas admitted that he is set to be haunted by the "ghost" former Blues boss, Jose Mourinho, who has been linked with a return to the London club.

However, the current Chelsea boss has warned his fellow Portuguese that the Chelsea job is not available.

"I have no doubts in my mind," said Villas-Boas. "Speculation will always come when you are unsuccessful and you are unsuccessful at Chelsea when you don't finish first.

"It led to all kinds of different managerial changes in all different kinds of countries and all different kinds of top European clubs.

 "Jose is always a good 'selling point'. The fact that there is the possibility of his return to England leads to speculation associated with the top clubs, for sure.

"Jose doesn't take anything rather than the top, because he represents exactly the top in management.

"So whenever he becomes available, he'll for sure be a ghost on every bench in the Premier League."

Chelsea are currently fourth in the Barclays Premier League, 12 points adrift of leaders Manchester City and second-placed Manchester United.
