Origin, family and education

Villas-Boas was born on October 17, 1977 as the second of four children of the engineer Luís Villas-Boas (* 1952) and his wife Maria Silva (* 1951) in Porto. His English grandmother Margaret Kendall had moved to Portugal with her mother to trade in wine. His great-uncle José Rui Villas-Boas was Viscount of Guilhomil . His brother João is an actor.

Villas-Boas has been married to Joana Maria Noronha de Ornelas Teixeira since 2004 and has two daughters with her (* 2009, 2010).

As a child he developed sympathy for FC Porto , but he realized early on that it would not be enough for a professional career. At 16, he found out that Porto coach at the time, Bobby Robson , was staying with him in the apartment block. This arranged for Villas-Boas after a conversation in which Robson et al. a. noticed his good English, eventually obtaining the FA coach qualification and the UEFA C coach license . Later, under the direction of Jim Fleeting , the young André received the B, A and UEFA Pro licenses.

Coaching career

Villas-Boas began his career at the age of 23 as Technical Director for the British Virgin Islands national team . After two defeats - with 1: 5 and 0: 9 against the Bermudian national football team - he was dismissed and returned to Porto.

He was then a permanent member of the coaching staff of José Mourinho for five seasons (2003 to 2008) . He also accompanied him after his successful time at FC Porto to the English club FC Chelsea and four years later to the Italian club Inter Milan . His tasks in the coaching staff included the analysis of the opposing players and the search for talent.

At the end of the 2007/08 season, he expressed the desire to look after a professional club as the main coach. He was supported by José Mourinho . On October 13, 2009 he was hired as a coach by the Portuguese club Académica Coimbra . Here, the then 31-year-old set himself the task of leading the club, which had been last placed up until then, out of the relegation zone. With an eleventh place (out of 16 teams) this goal was achieved.

Nevertheless, Villas-Boas left Coimbra at the end of the season. On June 2, 2010 he got a new coaching position at FC Porto, where he replaced the previously successful Jesualdo Ferreira . Villas-Boas won four titles in his first season with Porto. In addition to the Portuguese Supercup, which was won at the beginning of the season, he was the undefeated champions of the league with 21 points ahead of Benfica Lisbon . In addition, under Villas-Boas, FC Porto reached the final of the UEFA Europa League , which was won 1-0 in the first all-Portuguese final against Sporting Braga . At the age of 33, Villas-Boas became the youngest title coach in European cup history. The fourth and final title of the season followed in the Portuguese Cup final with a 6-2 win against Vitória Guimarães . At the end of this successful season, Villas-Boas resigned as coach of FC Porto on June 21, 2011.

A day later he became the new coach at Chelsea . After eight months of coaching at Chelsea, he was relieved of his post on March 4, 2012 due to unsuccessfulness. His assistant coach Roberto Di Matteo took over the team on an interim basis and led them to titles in the 2011/12 FA Cup and the 2011/12 UEFA Champions League .

Before the 2012/13 season, Villas-Boas was head coach at Tottenham Hotspur . He signed a contract with a term of three years until June 30, 2015.

In the Europa League he was eliminated with Tottenham in the quarterfinals against FC Basel on penalties. On December 16, 2013, his engagement at Hotspur ended by mutual agreement.

In mid-March 2014 he succeeded Luciano Spalletti at Zenit St. Petersburg . After the end of the 2015/16 season, he ended his job prematurely. At the beginning of November 2016 he succeeded Sven-Göran Eriksson at the Chinese club Shanghai SIPG .
