Football: Villas-Boas sweats before Napoli tie
LONDON: Chelsea coach Andre Villas-Boas faces the biggest match of his managerial career in a Champions League last-16, first-leg at Napoli tonight. The London side has won just two of their last 10 league games and drew 1-1 with second-tier Birmingham City in the FA Cup fifth-round, prompting speculation Villas-Boas could be axed. “You need an extra mental push to feel that confidence in a different way,” said Villas-Boas. “It comes with results and at the moment results are not happening.”
