Former Chelsea manager VOWS not return to Premier League, says “I will not go back there”

Marseille boss Andre Villas-Boas says he will never manage in the Premier League again after his stints at Stamford Bridge and White Hart Lane.

The former Tottenham and Chelsea manager doesn’t think the English top-flight suits his philosophy or style of football.

The 42-year-old, who is now in charge of French outfit Marseille, spent nine months at Stamford Bridge before being sacked in March 2012 with the Blues lying fifth in the table.

He went on to coach Tottenham, and, despite being hampered by a lack of his transfer targets in his first summer, in 2012, guided the White Hart Lane club to their then-best Premier League points tally.

Villas-Boas missed out on the top four on the final day of the season even with a new club record of 72 points.

He, however, eventually struggled to maintain the push at White Hart Lane as his second campaign was a poor one, and the club relieved him of his duties in December.

“I will not go back there. It is the championship with the most investment, the best players and teams,” Villas-Boas told Portuguese radio station Radio Renascenca.

“But, I like being in a league that includes different game philosophy. This is not the case in England.”
