😡 Former Chelsea manger Andre Villas Boas on the Champions League final in 2012 in Munich: “I cannot tell you I was supporting Chelsea. It had inflicted on me too much pain to be supporting Chelsea in the final.” (🎥 via @obionepodcast) #CFC
Andre Villas-Boas says he wasn't happy that Di Matteo accepted to take the Chelsea job after him:
🗣 "For me, it was very very difficult to see Roberto take the job. It was something I felt dearly because I was the one who chose him. Chelsea wanted a different person, particularly Marina Granovskaia and Roman.
They chose him for the football style at West Brom. For me, I told him this, for me not to have known he was given the job was something I wasn't expecting from him."

Jysk Maresca inherited a well functioning Manchester City team that were in a title race last season under Guardiola, with club still backing him with THREE 100m+ midfielders as a welcoming gift for his possession based style, plus better 1v1 wingers AND Haaland 😂
