"The Porto" Strategist Laughs Off Rumors About His Future" © EuroFootball.com

Strategist Andre Villas Boas calls rumors linking him to possible moves to English or Italian clubs "absurd."

The 33-year-old specialist is considered one of the most promising in Europe and has already attracted interest from teams such as "Roma", Turin's "Juventus", London's "Chelsea", and "Liverpool."

"These stories are unbelievable. I heard that I turned down an offer from 'Roma' because I had already agreed to take over at 'Liverpool'," the coach joked. "It's simply absurd.

Of course, rumors are a natural phenomenon when a team is doing well. But the information is incorrect."

Villas Boas took over the reins of FC Porto last year, and in his first season, he secured the title of Portuguese champion and a place in the semi-finals of the Europa League, where they will face "Villarreal" on Thursday.
