Andre Villas Boas does not expect success from the London team, as the footballers continue to exchange short messages with former coach Jose Mourinho.
This opinion was expressed by Porto president Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa, speaking about the previous season when 34-year-old Villas Boas led the team, and this year he is not very successful in his debut at Chelsea.
"He needs time to build his team," said Pinto da Costa, who also worked with Mourinho in the past. "It is impossible until some players continue to communicate with Mourinho."
There were reports that after a sudden loss to Everton, Villas Boas clashed with several senior players in front of owner Roman Abramovich.
However, Porto's director predicted a bright future: "He will succeed as the contract is not for one year. The main thing that can jeopardize the future is the failure to reach the Champions League."
In the Premier League standings, after 25 rounds, the 'Blues' are in 5th place, despite having the same points as London's Arsenal, who are one step higher.
