Andre Villas-Boas last night admitted his insistence he was at Chelsea for the long haul would carry more weight if publicly backed by the club’s hierarchy.
Villas-Boas was again bombarded by questions about his future ahead of tonight’s Champions League last-16 clash at Napoli. He remains confident that club owner Roman Abramovich would not sack him should he fail to reach the quarter-finals and that his three-year project to revamp the squad had the Russian billionaire’s “full” backing.
Villas-Boas said: “This club, from 2004 up to now, has made a dramatic change for the best in terms of their past. You have to sometimes make changes because you cannot sustain the same habits that you had in 2004, when this environment and team was created to make a winning team.
“These words would be more valuable coming from the top but, as the voice of the club, I will continue to perpetuate this message because this is what we believe in.”
