Andre Villas-Boas insists that he has "full confidence" from Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich.

Andre Villas-Boas has insisted that he has "full confidence" from Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich.

Chelsea suffered a 3-1 Champions League defeat to Napoli last night amid rumours of rows with players and questions over the manager's team selection.

"I have full confidence from the owner," Villas-Boas said. "Manager for the second leg? Yes, for sure.

"It's a team selection, I can go on and explain but it makes no difference.

"It was based on what was fair at that moment, the best team."

Chelsea next face Bolton Wanderers in the Premier League on Saturday.
