Vilas Boas, what happened to him?

[ratcatcher]

He was supposed to be the new mourinho, wasnt he? Someone who'd never played top level football but was a winner, a motivator of men who could pick a team and win no just matches but loads of trophies.

 

Was he a one season wonder in Portugal? Its all gone tits up for him hasnt it? isnt he away somewhere in russia planting trees instead of pulling them up?

[Trumo]

He's currently in charge of Zenit in Russia, and they have an 8 point lead in the title race with 3 games left to play. Safe to say they've won that one.

What a loser.

[Paco]

played shite football at spurs and chelsea and is now a forgotten man.

[Russ Atmosphere]

Gathering trophies in May.

[Pureblood]

Unbelievable.  How many clubs has he had in five years? What do you mean, what has happened to him? He has translated from Porto to Chelsea to North London to Russia.

 

The question is quite frankly insulting, I suppose. That question is suggesting something. To suggest that suddenly because you move from one club to another, the methods that have stood you in good stead for 5 years and made you one of the most respected coaches in the Europe suddenly do not work. I find it very, very hard to believe that someone has even asked that question.

[xerxes]

It is easy for people who don't follow football internationally, or think of it only in terms of the PL to dismiss him.


Winning four trophies and becoming the youngest manager ever to win a European title in the process in Portugal was a phenomenal achievement.In April 2014, he became the first coach in Russian Premier League history to win his first six matches in charge at Zenit, finished second, qualified for the CL and this season got through to the group stages and this season are eight points clear at the top and are set to win the league.

Its all gone tits up for him hasnt it? :D


 

[El Dangerous]

He was always on a hiding to nothing at Chelsea when he was tasked with blooding in youth and changing the guard. At Spurs he had the best points total for a premier league season under his belt and was only 5 pts off fourth with an injury hit squad and a side full of players he hadn't bought and a director who had failed to replace his best player when they binned him. He also had the best win percentage of a Spuds manager for 100 odd years.

 

No comparison to us like.

Really? Arent zenit the russian version of chelsea though?

[Kevin D]

In our line of work, he's always out there. You probably don't even hear it when it happens.

[Pureblood]

Fortunately this thread won't show up when he googles his own name due to the spelling error.

[El Dangerous]

You're assuming he doesn't Google the variations on the spelling of his name.

[Pureblood]

Yes. I. Am.

You're assuming he doesn't Google the variations on the spelling of his name.

 

Or as he calls it himself; "...inserting into the equation the specific search specification undertaken to solidificate maximisation of the information dynamic."

[Russ Atmosphere]

I'd be more interested to know if he's kept up the 'not crouching like he's having a touchline shit'.

[Pureblood]

Imagine how annoying his voice would become if he managed us and finished fifth.   He'd definitely be an idiot who could fuck off for not taking us to the next level, after failing to beat the end of level boss (Mourinho).

I thought it was a thread about Guillermo Vilas' snakes.

[Harry Squatter]

He smokes 200 Woodbines a day hence his croaky voice.

[TheHowieLama]

[xerxes]

Ratty appears to have... disappeared. Reading up on spelling, and football beyond the PL I hope!

[Trumo]

Guillermo Vilas was coached by Merv Hughes?

[moof]

I still rate him. His Porto team was amazing, Chelsea are a bunch of cunts and anyone would struggle at Spurs they're a nothing club.

I view him as at a similar level as Klopp and look what happened, I know you must have harsh views on him considering what your views on Rodgers are.

 

This is a guy who took over a team that finished fourth, had the best player in the league form wise and finished lower the following season, his transfers the season after that make ours look excellent.

[mouse1989]

Would rather have him over Rodgers to be honest

[Red House]

Would rather have him over Rodgers to be honest

 

So would I. Don't want either though.
