Andre Villas-Boas On Paris St-Germain's Radar To Replace Ancelotti As Manager: Daily Soccer Report

If Carlo Ancelotti leaves Paris Saint-Germain to become manager at Real Madrid, the owners of the Ligue Un club would be very keen to speak with Andre Villas-Boas about moving to France, according to a report in the Evening Standard newspaper.

According to the newspaper article,

“Villas-Boas is happy in north London but remains an ambitious coach who would be keen to listen to PSG’s Qatari owners, who have plans to make the French club one of the most powerful in Europe.

“It is believed Villas-Boas is one of several candidates under consideration, with his rumoured £10million release clause not considered an obstacle were PSG to make a formal approach to Spurs.”
