Football: Villas-Boas step into the unknown

LONDON: Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas admits he will be taking a step into the unknown when the Blues face Norwich at Stamford Bridge today. Villas-Boas started his career in the professional game as an opposition scout for Jose Mourinho at Porto, Chelsea and Inter Milan before becoming a manager. The 33-year-old Portuguese coach was renowned for compiling detailed reports on opposing teams that played a key role in Mourinho’s gameplan. But, in his new role as Chelsea boss, Villas-Boas is still finding his feet. “I cannot go in depth on Norwich, but I know they had a fantastic season,” said Villas-Boas.
