Villas-Boas - new Blues boss

Last updated : 20 June 2011 By Paul Lagan

Luís André de Pina Cabral e Villas-Boas (André Villas-Boas) is the name setting social networks alight at the moment - he's on the verge of joining Chelsea as manager according to them.

Reports coming out of Portugal suggest that Jose Mourinho's protege and current Porto boss is winging his way across the channel to a meeting with Roman Abramovich.

Other reports are having chief executive Ron Gourlay doing a bit of a European tour - going to Portugal to nab Villa-Boas and then heading across to Belgium to finalise the signing of Anderlecht forward Romelu Lukaku.

So where does that leave long-tern favourite Guus Hiddink?

No doubt, Roman will find a slot for him as director of football - if he wants it, of course.
