The Portuguese coach joined Tottenham mid-year and decided to stay there, despite the interest of other big clubs
Chelsea’s stint was not so good for Andre Villas-Boas, who, soon after, adopted a new challenge in London, serving Spurs. The Portuguese coach recalled the transition from one season to another, recalling the interest of other already strong clubs at the time.
“In the second season I stayed because of my love for football, there was an offer from Paris Saint-Germain on the table. Daniel Levy [presidente dos spurs] He wanted to sell me for £15m, but PSG didn’t want to pay that. There were a lot of things that were not right on the part of PSG, especially the way it was taken, and I decided to stay, for my love of Spurs. But I think they were waiting for me to leave and that was the beginning of a bad relationship at the time. However, we are off to a good start in terms of sports. At that time, we were not happy with each other: I stayed away from love for the club and Tottenham wanted me out,” he explained, in an interview with The Telegraph.
Villas Boas also recalled what he intended to do in post-Marseille, with the upcoming World Cup approaching.
“When I left Marseille my idea was to be in Qatar. There was a collective approach, but we did not come to an agreement,” he said.
