Andre Villas-Boas talking about his early days in coaching.

He has kept all the letters he received when he started contacting football clubs seeking work as a young coach. “I was writing to all the clubs in the world: ‘I am AVB, I am a small boy from Portugal, would you have a vacancy in your youth levels for me? I have this and this experience’,” he remembers.

“It was funny - the English all write back, the secretaries from the past, the secretary that Sir Bobby [Robson, his mentor and neighbour when the Englishman was Porto coach in the 1990s) had in Ipswich, they used to reply all the time.

Sven Goran-Ericksson was also welcomed into the club to observe training sessions. Brian Owen looked after him and on occassions took him into his family home at Capel.

True class as you say.

Think Robson let him sit with him on the bench, possibly in a game V Villa I seem to remember Sven saying. A young Graham Taylor at also got to stay I think. AVB came over when Burley was in charge at Robson's suggestion.
