Former Spurs and Chelsea boss odds tumble

|

FboasPreview Changesormer Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas has been a surprise addition to the bookies list of possible candidates to became the next West Ham manager this evening.

Sky Bet has priced Villas-Boas at 12/1 despite never being mentioned in the race for the West Ham hot seat before.  It is not known what inside information the guys at Sky know but it could be a sizeable wager has been laid down on the 37 year old Portuguese manager becoming the 15th West Ham manager.

Villas-Boas spent eight months as manager of  Academica, one year as manager of Porto, nine months as manager of Chelsea and a year-and-a-half as manager of  Spurs. He led Porto to an undefeated 2010-2011 season in the Primera Liga, winning four trophies and becoming the youngest manager ever to win a European title in the process.

In March 2014, he signed a two-year deal with Zenit Saint Petersburg. He led the club to the fifth league title this season.

    Not over impressed with the rumour there’s a few I’d rather but given the choice AVB or BFS it’d be AVB every time

  • Baz Brushe says:

    Well he aint left Zemit has he.Hope not,i would prefer he stays there than gets involved in our manager hunt.

  • dusty85 says:

    AVB is a manager who has been highly criticised for being tactically clueless, ring any bells?

  • bubs says:

    Spuds left overs no thank you,but if it’s him or BFS he can have the job
    But if it’s spoonie or BFS welcome on board Spoonie
    I know BFS what ever army

  • pabloonechop says:

    Tactically clueless but a season undefeated and four trophies?!
    Would need time and the right technical gifted players who understand and can play a system. On that basis not hopeful and doubt board would take the risk

  • Quickdraw says:

    He had a good reputation before the spuds but we’ve been down the road of an ex-Chelsea manager before with creepy uncle Avram and that would surely be on the Daves mind so I think it’ll be a no for AVB

    No thanks, but looking at the photo he shore wears his suit better than the fat man
