Andre Villas Boas resigned from his position as head coach and took a crucial step towards signing a contract with London.

According to the news agency "Lusa," the very young 33-year-old specialist himself paid a 15 million euro ransom, which was stipulated in the contract with Porto.

The Portuguese club did not want to release the strategist, with whom they won three trophies last season, but they could not refuse the ransom condition to prevent the deal.

In free English, Villas Boas will soon sign a contract with Chelsea. It is said that his salary will be around 5 million euros per season.
