Thyce Slegger a Dutch correspondent was on Talksport earlier saying Hiddink isnt joining Chelsea as DoF, he will stick to advising Roman. Apparently has not been contacted by chelsea in over a month or so

Yeah but last week another or the same (not sure) Dutch correspondent said Hiddink was a done deal. So i wouldn't trust anyone.

Just saw his interview and he is well spoken. He comes across very level headed and mentioned he is still intouch with players and staff at chelsea and praised Chelsea. He also mentioned that obviously Chelsea has obsession with Champions League, which means he knows what he is getting into.

What a coup this would be if he wins us the Champions League.

Someone probably has already posted this, but here's a bit more information about him. Also i gotta warn you, it's a long read.

i hope that isn`t true..as it sounds like he would like to keep meddling but without putting his head on the block by taking the job and responsibilty for his actions.

If you guys did not know , Andre Villa Boas was the one who prepared and compiled Jose Mourinho's Match reports back then at Chelsea and Inter. Here's one of his reports when he was Jose's assistant in 2005. The game was Chelsea vs Newcastle at Stamford Bridge - Nov. 19th 2005 !

Already posted men. Thanks though.

We're gonna end up loving this guy. I already like him and i barely know him yet.

He was at Chelsea, how you barely know him?

One notable difference between Villas-Boas & Mourinho will probably be his interviews and conferences.. I bet Justin will be happy about that

Most of it is "I'm happy Villas-Boas is coming" and similar. Some posts contain links to articles about him coming here and his biography. There were also a few posts doubting his authority because of his game and that it will not be easy to control players such as Terry and Drogba.

Imagine Villa-Boas's Chelsea Up against Jos'e Mourinho's Real Madrid in the Champions league, wow how epic!

[bababoom 4,478]

Haha, very funny.

Interesting Fact: AVB used the Fifa Manager videogame series to scout and learn many aspects of being a coach. (FM is widely recognized to being very accurate).
