Former Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas does not expect Premier League return

Andre Villas-Boas does not expect to return to management in the Premier League when he leaves Zenit St Petersburg at the end of the season.

Former Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas has dismissed the prospect of returning to the Premier League.

The 38-year-old Portuguese coach is currently in charge of Russian side Zenit St Petersburg, but is expected to leave the club when his contract expires at the end of the season.

Last night his side conceded a last-gasp goal to go 1-0 down in their Champions League last-16 tie against Benfica, and when asked afterwards if a return to the Premier League was possible, Villas-Boas told BT Sport: "No I think my time has been done there.

"It didn't go as well as I expected, apart from the first year at Tottenham, so I will look forward to trying other leagues.

Asked where he might go, he added: "I don't know, hopefully something good."

Villas-Boas was sacked by Chelsea in March 2012 before being appointed Tottenham manager that summer and going on to guide Spurs to a fifth-place finish in the Premier League, missing the Champions League places by just one point.
